Waves 8-10'+ The buoy was reading 13' and I probably saw some mast high sets. I only had a few powered runs. I was plagued by fin changes again today. The seaweed is in and I had to switch to the weedwave fin. The wind direction was favorable, so I continued to plow out through the inside, but I never could make it all the way to outside after that. OTW-0:50

Part 2: Went back out at 2:45. The wind was 25-30 from the south. I took the Acid 77. I knew the front was coming and I could see the thunderstorms over downtown. I got 1 powered run all the way to the outside and on the way back in I knew I was in trouble because I could see the tops of the waves near shore blowing off. The wind had gone offshore. I made it in about a 1/2 mile north. Not much rain and no lightning. Just a long walk back. OTW-0:15
