Surfing the last big west swell of 2012 at El Capitan! The first part is in the morning at high tide at the point, the second part is in the afternoon at low tide inside the cove.
More west and longer period the better. Mid period can sometimes be fun too. WSW is actually the best though and I believe if I remember correctly this swell was coming off a pineapple express storm so this swell was WSW which basically means "extremely west" The more North in the swell, the spottier it will be. Also will break more on the tip of the sandbar/ point than wrap all the way to the freeway like it was this day
does anyone know how to surf or line up anymore ,, so many clowns in the water back in the day me and my friends would have torn el Cap up , this is a joke.
I’m years late on this but does anyone know who that dude is at 1.10 to like 1.20. That is as good as backhand tube riding gets in these conditions. If he didn’t run that dude over while pigdogging he’d have made the third pit too!
