Opening Day at Black's Beach | First Sign of El Nino Surf 

Sunday was the best day for sure. Still a bit weak but period dropped off and the SW picked up.

Agreed! It was so fun@@elvisjr24

Someone told me this recently and it changed my attitude quite a bit. “You can’t complain about the crowd if you are part of the crowd” it is what is 🤷🏼‍♂️

@@AndrewCooperr That comment is what I call 'technically speaking," actually that comment is *extremely technically lol speaking* and if gave you a couple examples you'd see what I mean; but that would be too much writing on here. Bottom line is this. Those of us who have been surfing 40 years or MORE, have experienced what I described what surfing use to be (and still is without the FREAK SHOW CIRCUS CROWDS *that steal*) and that is, surfing used to be special, sacred and even holy, I mean what I've experienced from The Cliffs to DMJ's on base (and actually Church because it's 'technically' SD) is basically indescribable next level amazing! NOW, it's an *overcrowded* Circus FREAK SHOW. Those out of control freak show crowds were not here in the year 2017 and earlier, every thing changed 2018 and up. And it's only going to get worse. There are many factors why it changed, but for those of us who were born and raised here and didn't invite all the outsiders we will complain! And the `main reason of the complaining is because of lack of respect and dropping in on those who out paddled and out positioned themselves. I'm gonna try and get a law passed like in Middle Eastern Countries, if you steel we execute you!! So when the thief drops in AND DOESN'T TURN UP we simply shoot them! Problem solved! I mean you have nothing to worry about if lol you don't STEAL! Peace

The swell WAS on the weak side everywhere, up here in Carlsbad and N County there was some size lol but weak and warbley and just not happening, poor to fair. Also 20 + years ago 80% of the crowd wasn't there, and no problem parking up at the glider port. 2017 was the last great year and that's pushing it, now it's LA EVERYWHERE. Peace

i guess you weren’t here during this past january

Or 3 years ago lol

parking at glider park is wild? everyone parks near the fire road@@toothnail605

@@MITInvasions Yes I was and it was mackin!! "2017 was the last great year" I was referring 2018 and up -- EVERY DAY is over the top crowds, and it's grid lock traffic just like the 405 freeway at LAX EVERYWHERE lol including in the water. I was `not referring to the waves at all, they will always show up, just like the crowded CIRCUS FREAK SHOW. Peace

Haha

never heard anyone say opening before

Surfline likes to use that phrase a lot to get surfers from Arizona to show up and make things mO crowded, it also gets mO subscribers on the live cams $$$$$$$.00 Surfline forecasters also love to tell the millions on what time to paddle out everyday. *Welcome to the Freak Show Future!* Peace

If it the beach I'm thinking about use to be a nude beach
