looks like its going to be a quite good weekend by the western side

Santa Cruz was epic last weekend.  Steamer Lane was pumping double overhead.  To tell the truth I surfed the shoulders, this old carp just can't paddle through those sets.

Northern California

went to quezon again last weekend but conditions remained crappy, d@amn, where the heck are the good spots in quezon is it just the timing? is polillo the only area there with good breaks? we surfed a rivermouth in real but the waves were just too crappy, the fact that its difficult to paddle out in shallow water with cobblestone bottom further pissed us off, thankfully the sun was shining and after a couple of crappy rides we decided to just grab some cheap fresh seafood to keep ourselves happy

thinking of giving up the quezon project  

Al what way is the wind blowing
Just finished checking that Navy website and looks like you guys are getting plenty of swell. If you were to find say a point thats out of the wind Im sure your gonna find waves down in Qeuzon. Any way looks like only the east coast of Oz is waveless at the moment.
Cheers

not sure which way it was blowing but it sure wasnt offshore

we are getting good swells alright, its just a pity that its nowhere near manila  

pagudpud must be pumping though...  

Your right about that. Zambales also looks like it might be good. Try Corrigedor Al you never know.
Cheers

Al

peace!

Worth a check during a swell if you can afford it Al. Nice site Jim very enlightening.
Cheers

hey jim, nice one, looks promising, probably works well with a good swell in south china sea  

hmmm... the corregidor project?  

Al
mas malapit pa!  
any plans?

Hey Al you need to get sick for a day or two and head over there. If ever it is going to get waves now looks to be the time. I dont know what the weathers like over there but you sure got some swell. Anyone sitting on their local with offshore winds at the moment must be having the time of their lives. I know a place that would be pumping at the moment.
Hope your all getting barrelled.
Cheers.

jim, cant surf yet, doc told me to avoid the surf until the muscle strains gone even before last wkend quezon trip but if things look good on the online report, might listen to mark and get sick for a day or two

lets plan a survey in the Island & ask the tour guides/bankeros there, Im sure they know the swell season & conditions..
for now, get well soon Al
peace!

Al hope you get well real soon. Jim good idea asking the Bankeros. The only thing stopping good waves would be the depth of the water. If you can get yourselves a good marine map of the area you will know where to look. We used to hunt up Naval maps of certain areas and then when the Philippine road map came out we could cross reference areas and see if the spots were anywhere near roads. If you ever go to Majestics you will find that their road atlas has a few pages missing.
Cheers.
