Foggy this morning, and with the damn minus low tide at 6:50am, can't see the waves...... not cold... in fact, muggy.... air temp already in the low 60's..... Today, NW5ft @ 7sec's with light N winds in the morning (if any).... picking up later in the afternoon.... what a surprise! Then dropping off in the evening...... this looks like the surf report for the week..... sun is supposed to burn off this crap later this morning.... I am going to take a drive around 10a, to see what might be found.... need some water in, and hopefully the winds will not get crazy...... Last picture was taken yesterday afternoon, I had the pleasure of hanging out with my granddaughter on the beach..... was a damn nice day!!!! Being around her are better than taking blood pressure pills.....

Went up early...... ran into Cheap Bastard..... decided to wait until some water moves in..... fog bank about 3/4 mile out..... sunshine here...... NW 4-5ft @ 6 sec's with light N winds, doing the usual, picking up in the afternoon and dropping off in the evening.... Saw Pomona driving in..... might see her later in the morning for some surf...... So..... got back to the shop.... having coffee with the usual morning crew, then SB spots one of my most hated things...... We have spent a ton of money on the required landscaping for the new building..... planters, plants.... Mar has been working on them..... And there, right in the planter in front of the window on the beach store side..... Some ASSMUNCH let their F'ing Dog take a dump!! Damn, there are times when I wish I could catch people like that...... Hey, assmunch!! you own a dog.....take some Friggin responsibility!!! Now, we have to clean up after that........ so.... Reason # 445 why we don't own a dog....... PS.... saw cheap bastard's dog taking a big one up at Indian...... So.... back to the surf report.... looks like the rest of the week, we will have the damn minus low tides to deal with in the morning.... today it was at 6am by Friday it will be at 9am...... all week, swell looking like NW 5-6ft with N/NW winds, usual light morning, windy afternoons, and glassy evenings...... Thursday night at 6p, we will have another concealed weapons class up stairs.... cost still $35, just let me know if you might be attending......

So........yesterday, we were busy in the shop.... had a nice young couple from Canada drop by and buy a board..... nice kids.... well, she was nice....he was just OK...... then the best story of the day...... in the afternoon, Buce and his wife sharon came by to check out the GP (again!) We had to wipe off the drool from his morning visit..... so... Sharon... a class act, was great..... she sat on the stool by the counter, went a got a 6pack of Tecate, and started popping the cans..... Buce oh , I mean Bruce started fondling, rubbing, and just being "wrong" with the GP..... For 2 hours, Buce fondled the board..... Sharon entertained us...... first time for the dance on the counter...... she is great..... if you ever get a chance to surf with these 2, hang with the Shar..... Buce... we are still wondering about..... yes, you can probably find them at the shorts.......... Made the day......... still laughing......

Surf is tiny, but a beautiful morning on this side of the head! North of Tillamook head is socked in with the fog bank that is about 1 1/2 miles off the CB beach..... High today will be in the low 70's.... probably in the 90's in the Valley..... got to have fun in Portland and Vancouver traffic yesterday afternoon.... 93 was the temp..... stopped and had a burger at the red robin..... good visit with 2 people getting ready for a new adventure......... food.... well, let's just say I will remember that burger for a while...... but the company by far overshadowed the food.....
Today, NW 1-2 ft @ 6-8 sec's, high tide at 8am, light am N winds, picking up to 25mph later..... Friday looks to pick up to a whopping W 3ft @ 10 sec's, same story on the winds, and high tide at 9:20am. Sat, Sun and Monday all looking like W 5ft with the morning light N winds, picking up in the afternoon and dropping off in the evening.... high tide at 10:30a on Sat. , and 12:30p on monday.
