Notes : Well yesterday San Mateo County and Pacifica issued a press release saying they would now enforce violations of people coming to the beach who live more than 5 miles away. They determine that by asking questions and checking license plates. San Mateo County had the “5 mile rule” meaning if you are not 5 miles from the beach then you must turn around. Since I am 14 miles that means not me. Many residents apparently have been complaining because everyone is parking on Crespi Street and entering at the Crespi Linda Mar entrance. (Hence resulting in the line up on the North end of “CCC” aka Crespi Covid Cluster.) I have parked in the Norcal lot and entering and surfing on the South end – whatever the wave is like – just to avoid CCC. Most locals I speak with say the issues is weekenders who arrive at 9 or 10 am with van loads of family and friends and picnic baskets. But now the hammer has come down. Will they enforce on folks that arrive at dawn and leave by 830???? this AM I Arrived at the Norcal lot at 615 am – it was empty. The south end at boat dox was kind of rubbish but surf able but  no one was in the line up – not even F. it was not something I was gonna do- surf with no one win the water. so I walked on the beach. went back to the lot and 4 cars had arrived – all surfers. well I thought – now at least some people would be in the water on the south end – but decided to give it a pass. I left – no sign of any cops anywhere. talking later with folk many said they think its likely to be a 9 to 5 enforcement issue – we shall see. I feel county officials are weighing total beach closure – which – in the end – will really piss off the Linda Mar locals…
