11-03 Medium-Small Swell

The predicted large swell was a bust where I went, the time an location is what its all about and I missed it . The warm temperature brought everyone out to the beach and parking was difficult to find. There were occasional 5 fts, which isn't close to the predicted 9ft. Fortunately the surf season is just getting started.

Here's some shots from today, nothing special.

Complete bust and way overhyped.
As my buddies and I always say, the swell forecasting sites have a vested interest in hyping swells to benefit their site's traffic (which their advertisers LOVE)...

As for the swell, I was hoping the buoys would show a slight shift with more west swell, but it stayed at 300. Way too much north, kinda missed all of SoCal and all we saw was wrap. I was at LJ reefs all day and didn't see anything bigger than 2ft overhead.... Looking forward to the winter when we start seeing more west-northwest swells.

Nice shots, thanks for sharing.

I was just around the point from where he was shooting.
Same size, same poor shape....
