Board : 92
Notes : Clear blue skies in the Mission but descending into Pacifica the fog was thicker than I had ever seen before – had to utilize the fog lights and reduce speed to a crawl. “A” lot was half full. “B” also had cars – so people must be in the water. Fog was like the airport scene in Casablanca. Had to walk all the way down to the edge of the beach -by the creek- to finally see people bobbing out in the water. they were like ghost shadows. As I was suiting up the sun started to break through the fog bank -like a light bulb behind a shroud. Oddly enough you could spot blue skies south – over by the point. Paddling out in the lineup visibility became much clearer. There was alot of folk (for a monday) in the water. Very quickly the sun started to burn away the fog revealing patches of blue. Very clean but shifty and lumpy. First half hour was a dud. Just hunt and peck for scraps that looked good at first but then dissolved into closed out jumbles. I kept paddling North which was the wrong thing to do. I finally headed south – back to the creek and things opened up with the sky. Suddenly you could see clearly down to boatdox and the creek peak started working. Consistently got better – rights and lefts. Clean quick and jazzy. I had a no paddle left-just kind pointed the board down and the wave offered itself up to me
