BOB FREEMAN’S WEEKEND SURF REPORT
By Bob Freeman // December 7, 2014
SURF REPORT FOR DEC. 5 – DEC. 7, 2014
FRIDAY: Surf this Friday morning is running in the chest- to head-high range with bumpy surface conditions from an early northeasterly wind.
SATURDAY: Saturday’s surf will average chest-high with bumpy conditions again from a steady northeasterly wind.
SUNDAY: Sunday’s surf heights will decrease into the waist- to chest-high range with cleaner conditions expected from a northerly breeze.
Ocean temperatures have dropped to 67 degrees. A fullsuit may be the best option for mornings, but surfers can shed much of the rubber by Sunday afternoon.
Watch for jelly fish in the surf that have been blown into our area from this past week’s northeasterly winds. Fortunately stings have been light with itching lasting for about 30 minutes. Household vinegar will bring some relief.
