BABE MAGNET

Ready for an afternoon of babe alerts
See how cute I am. See what I do for my dad and he taught me not to bark about it.



Mission accomplished.

Beach House next to the RV park.
THE RICO REPORT: Mean board busting 7 to 10ft. late afternoon at the RV park for yesterday, Monday.
Nasty 10ft. close out in late afternoon.

Solid 8ft with 10ft on the sets. Monday 8a.m. If the only complaint is that you wish you had someone to paddle out with...well...could be worse.

THE RICO REPORT

BUT 1st .. a word from our sponsor. "I DON'T SURF THAT OFTEN, BUT BEFORE I DO .. I ALWAYS READ RICO'S REPORT." Stay thirsty my friends.

About 1 to 3 foot overhead and glassy Friday (yesterday) morning.


Same spot as the day before yesterday (Thursday), Tackle Buster Reef (Nelscott). Friday was one quarter the size of Thursday. Not even a hump on the reef.

THE RICO REPORT

Tackle Buster reef. These were shot Thursday (yesterday) morning. 8 to 10ft. on the sandbar, 15ft on the reef. By the time my pops drove me down there it was 9:30 and was mumbling about the wind starting to kick in. Serves him right for making me wait so long to do my morning business.
The reef at about 15ft. .. or .. bigger than 12 and smaller than 18ft. Telephoto distorts the distance between the shore and reef which is about 1,000 yards.

Looking up the access road from the parking lot at Nelscott.
Barely breaking at about 12ft.

South side lineup.
The peak on the south side of the reef @ about 12 ft.

SPRING HAS SPRUNG

TEMPS will be in the mid 70's today, upper 70's tomorrow and holding with no humidity. Can't beat it for working outside here at the park. Surf is overhead today and 2X OH tomorrow. The landscape is going off with colors.
