I missed my 5:10 am and 5:20 am alarm again this morning and instead awoke to the sound of birds chirping and the sun rising at 5:45 am. At least I made it out to the beach while there was still parking and forced myself to deal with the 20 something odd people who were attempting to surf prior to work/school/real lives. I, on the other hand, suffer none of the above and surfed to my hearts content until after 9:30 when the waves started coming in at a funny angle and convinced me that all the talk about the swell arriving tomorrow would in fact, undoubtedly either a. not arrive or b. arrive but by "swell" they mean "waves over 1 foot." I don't know what surf forecast medium everyone else is looking at but surfnewsnetwork has been telling me for the past week or so that the swell was due on THURSDAY not TUESDAY so I feel both lied to and cheated. There must be a more reliable surf forecaster out there, there must. I just wonder if they will discover it during my lifetime.
