Iredale to just above sunset.
Really really really good.
Great waves--west swell combining with NW wind swell.
Water is warm.
El nino?
Fished all night--- beautiful night and a great day over here.
Definitely time to go to bed.

The afternoon wind today was fantastic; not holding my breath for tomorrow. Hopefully it's windy enough for a 12.

.solo a netarts that is absolutely my new favorite place. butter behind the pennisula, nice long waves, breakers go way out, shallow way out, and the NW corner of the bay the waves come in in two directions

SICKNESS

I was wondering for a long time why this location got almost no acknowledgment, and hence I have not tired it (yet). Glad you scored Thumb's Up

Care to post details of where you launch from?
I got nice 7m action at the Columbia ponds at Ft Stevens, followed by steady 14m sesh at Jones on the way back. So stoked

Netarts: Does it work best on incoming or outgoing tide? Any minimum tide required?

as you are heading to oceanside 2 miles from the city there is a street called happy camper rd. no joke Very Happy

follow that to the parking lot and you will be facing shallow glass water on the left and breakers for a mile out on the right. i got there at low tide and rode till high no problems no bad currents.11 mtr NW wind. i think a nw wind will work better for the flats. in a north wind there will be a half mile walk on the beach to get to a good launch/good wind as there are hills north of where you will be when you park. edit found a really really crappy photo, taken today Embarassed

too post this but this is from the parking lot. accidental double post same picture Confused

It's a blustery 1 knt... crossing my fingers for pick up late afternoon

I agree.
So much for all the solo sessions like I had there over the years.

I have literally never ridden with anyone out there....which is so nice.
Let's hope it stays on the downlow.

Barfly PM me and I can let you in on an amazing flat butter spot that I have been riding alone for 2 years---if you can keep a secret.

ooo, smarmy K4L. nice response. oceanside is not a secret it is just a little hole with some flatwater, great swell and funky wind. go set up camp there for all I care. know when to go, that is the secret. acting like it is some sort of unfound gem is annoying. forget google, search this site and you'll find videos, pictures and probably maps.

I was talking about the SHARKS anyway!!
