With a south groundswell and a negative low tide, there were some fun little waves to be had at Cowells. Getting up at 4 am was well worth it.
My arms tired quickly (probably since I swam extra long yesterday) and I didn't want to fight the pack of longboarders on the main peak, so I stayed on the inside and had a break to myself much of the time. The waves were soft and I was on my 7'0" Emm, so I had to be at the peak and wait for the bigger set waves, which were going around chest-high. I got many fun rides that, while not long for Cowells, were longer than I've had in a while. It was nice to have a shoulder to play on. Stoked!

Surfline: 1-3 ft. Soft, small scale lines for the longboard. South (190-170) groundswell builds in further and peaks today, mixing with continued NW-WNW (290-310) mid period swell. Better exposed breaks are seeing surf in the waist-chest-head high range this morning, as top exposures pull in a few overhead+ sets. Winds are light out of the North for clean conditions through town. Shape is a little drained coming off a 5am negative low tide, with most areas improving through the morning with the tide push.
