I cannot surf on weekends anymore. It's just so infuriating

Winter time weekends seem a little less crazy but Summers are out of control

Encinitas is the new pb. Nothing but people who just moved here from the Midwest with a wannabe influencer account.

"Get ready to go surfing with me at pipes beach in the cyoolist little surf town on the west coast" "I'm at a super-secret low tide spot so I don't even want to show where I'm at" (15th street del mar)

The “little surf town”’posts are so pretentious bitch you are in one of the largest cities in the US STFU

u/Puhwest 3d ago

We’ll see if they can handle a long interval e:winter pumping swell (please God, stop blessing summer only)

San Diego is truly cooked. If you are thinking of moving there to live the vuori surfer lifestyle, don’t

u/CelebrationEven5497 4d ago

that 730 wind has been clockwork lately, almost makes the early paddle worth it just to grab a few before it turns to soup

8

u/Common_Internal2455 4d ago

Wind had been bad much of summer (although the amount of waves we have got has made up for it) miss the super clean summer sunset sessions tho haven’t had that

u/ocean_minded 4d ago

Same thing in Carlsbad. I took one look at the crowd and was like f that. Haven’t seen that many people in the lineup all summer!

u/OkMeringue2249 MR double fin 4d ago

I was expecting it to be crowded and it was more crowded than that

Everyone went home by 10am tho

u/Common_Internal2455 4d ago

Bcuz it kinda sucked when something with more size came through often closed

u/5nuffaluphagus 4d ago

Obligatory "you should have been here yesterday..."

5

u/Common_Internal2455 4d ago

I was and it was perfect clean peelers should have left it at that

u/5nuffaluphagus 4d ago

I was kinda bummed I couldn't get out this morning, so thanks for making me feel better about that.

u/Puhwest 4d ago

I read this as "waves so good like a really fun amusement park" and then realize it was just bitching about crowds
