January 7, 2006, Surfside Jetty Park, Surfside: The breaking waves were pretty good maybe at shoulder level or smaller when sitting in my kayak. The waves beyond breakers were head high. Most of the board surfers (about 100 of them) were just east of Jetty Park and just beyond the breakers.
Good air temperatures (70 up to 78), the water was clean, there was enough wind to bring in the waves, and the sun came out around 3:00. Six kayaks were on the water that day. Debbie, Linda, KP, Dave, Gary, and I started surfing around 2:30 and quit around 4. Mark was there but decided to be our safety instead of surf. We thanked him for that.
It was a good way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
