California Winter
The winter of 2015 was a beauty in Goleta.
Well in terms of surf and sunshine, it was a beauty….
If you were planning on rain, you were disappointed.
January and February were stacked full of swells, one after another,
piling onto our beaches in an orderly fashion.
This was the afternoon of February 9th, Magic Monday we’ve called it.
By now the crowd at Campus had grown and the wind was becoming a factor,
but there was only one guy out at Devereux Point, and he was on a soft top…
And he made a go of it.
Now let’s look back a little further, at a Sunday morning session. January 25th.
A gorgeous morning, by any standard.
Soft, warm, offshore breeze, and clean hollow waves.
Hollow enough to climb inside and take in the view.
Days like these are normally few and far between, but for a couple months,
we were getting an abundance.
In fact, we can’t remember a stretch of so much consistent surf.
Not sayin’ it’s never happened before, but it’s been a while.
You would think with all the surf we were getting, guys would be a little more considerate…..
You would think…
Usually, everybody manages to steer clear of each other and not get hurt.
So, ’round about July, know you can come back to these pages and relive the solid swells of winter.
