On the one hand, just a light NE breeze and a groundswell with sets to head high or even a bit more at exposed spots. On the other hand, a pesky very short period easterly chop that varied from barely noticeable to periods when it wrecked the waves making them almost impossible to paddle into and if you did make them, impossible to stay on your feet. Freakishly bad for spells. Hard to figure where that chop was coming from because it wasn't windy enough out to sea to raise any white horses. Light wind against tidal west to east drift seems likely. The forecast was spot on! I should have trusted it and saved the long drive: ok wave condiions for out-fronts: not for somewhere this remote.
