Sunrise and a beautiful day ahead

Yesterday's fog did burn off and surfers were getting nice rides on sometimes head-high waves.   Today will be the same with low tide an hour later (noon thirty).  I'm sore from 3 hrs paddling but may make it to the beach again after my chores.
Bring sunblock (seriously) if you go to the beach today.  The sand bars are more developed at Newcomb Hollow beach about 2 miles north of Maguire's Landing.  More surfers are there but there is a lot of room for everyone.

Foggy promises

Foggy with waist high waves and a light breeze from the land are promising conditions for a relaxing day of surfing.  Low tide in the middle of the day means lots of surfers so get out early if you can.

Foggy morning with medium waves.  Wind still from east.  Weekend promises to be sunny so I may be surfing.

A northeast wind is bringing clouds and seaweed to Maguire's landing. Gulls take advantage of the lift provided by the dunes to make their way north.

Cool and Pleasant

 Sand slowly engulfs a fence at Maguire's landing parking lot.  A slight breeze and overcast sky keep this morning cool and pleasant.  No surf today.  Thinking of Costa Rica again and planning for a larger trip than last time.  Check out Witch's Rock Surf Camp for their latest photos.

Dark water sunrise

Sunrise and a strong north east wind at Maguire's.  Birds are flying north along the dune face and sand is piling up in the parking lot.  The longer the wind blows from the east, the larger the swell will get.  Rain forecast for the next few days.  
Missing days in blog due to Boston anime convention.

Bright Sunny

Bright sunny day on the way.  Water is still cold and the waves are small.  A still cloudless day will be perfect for the beach this time of year.
Costa Rica is still on my mind.
