Re: newport beach, ca area

oh mannnn i just woke up from a nap ;( i stayed up way too late last night.. and now im tired as hell lol. xahx hope you didnt go out, i doubt it since i never got a call or text. i think im gonna take it easy tonight, rest up, and maybe go out tomorrow around 10am or something, before the crowds hit.

same spot as usual. im eager to get out if the viz holds up. it says 10-12 in shaws cove (a few coves down), thats what it usually is when i head down there, should be good.

Re: newport beach, ca area

I was out today, vis was horrible- it didn't help that it was cloudy and the tide was low, but there was alot of water moving out there. I kindof got a little motion sickness.

Good thing you didn't come down Xahx.

whered you go out, specifically? the surge is what i was a bit concerned with, because one foot can make all the difference.

hopefully its not too bad if i head down tomorrow. gonna check first.

Re: newport beach, ca area

so i ended up going out saturday to table rock in laguna.. viz was about 6-8ft.. more or less. only ran across a few perch and plenty of smelt and garibaldi. my buddy got a nice calico.

i dont know why, but he kept comin across sand bass, calico, etc.. i think because he could dive down. i couldnt go deeper than 8-10ft before i got a huge migraine feeling above my right eyebrow.. like pressure.. then when i would resurface it would slowly fade. i tried dealing with it to get down, but i couldnt help but feel like it was a bad idea - not to mention the pain was pretty intense the deeper i went. anyone know what this is? sinuses?

he asked me to join him again to check the surf at the wedge (we bodyboard).. last time we went out it was a good 10-12ft, but i guess on this day it was completely flat.. this was sunday afternoon, btw. i was sunburned/tired from the angels game i went to earlier that day, so i told him i would pass. plus i figured that was a crappy spot to spear. (mostly sand/jetty) well i get a text message that i missed out and he ended up getting a few nice corbina! i was jealous. heres some of the pictures.
