Walter and I headed off to Marin for the day to check out Muir Beach. Since Mavericks was firing, and it was a Friday, Bolinas would be the only other place surfable, but it would have been packed (i.e., Friday).
We didn’t fool around. We just packed the guns, Parmenter 7/9 Aleutian Juice for me, Walter on my 7/6 Schlictmann.
The inside break wasn’t fooling around either. Mostly top to bottom closers, very hard to get under, and no going around. I tried three or four times to get out past the inside break to see about picking off something a little further out. No dice. After a short break, I paddled out grab one of the inside waves, and lo! a slight lull got me squirted past the close outs.
As it turned out, the outside wasn’t really firing reliably. After a couple of sincere attempts to ride one of the closeouts over the falls, I got caught inside and washed to the beach.
We called it a day at this point.
