Parking Lot	04/29/00 12:30 pm - 2:30 pm	2 - 4' Windswell even bigger today. Actually quite large in the morning but I had things to do so waited for the tide to drop and surfed some decent Lot. Uncrowded because it actually didn't look that good from the beach but after many years of surfing this place I knew that something was going on out there. Wave was lined up but sectiony with slow downs giving it the appearance of mush but in actuality it was round house time with some real nice wedgy sections after the slow down. Even spotted a full round barrel out there. Only down side was there was a ton of water moving down the beach from the windswell and the long paddle back out was a killer.
Missouri St.	04/28/00 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm	2 - 3'+ New windswell with conditions extremely mushy. A real struggle to get something good although it looked like there was good waves. Heavy crowd was also a bummer factor. Got maybe two good lefts and everything else was mush ball closeout.
Missouri St.	04/26/00 6:30 am - 7:30 am	1 - 3' Much smaller today but the little waves were pretty punchy on the outside bar. Tide was pulling out and must of been just right for the swell size because I got a ton of good little left wedges. Rumors of south swell are starting to fly but it looks like from the models that were due for a small west groundswell. I'm about due for a Cliffs run.
Parking Lot	04/25/00 7:30 am - 8:30 am	2 - 3'+ Some bigger waves rolling through today from a small north west groundswell with a windswell over the top of it. Low tide helping out the Lot. Kind of weak but it was wedging and lining up. Could of used another foot of swell but the direction was right on. Managed to sneak from the hungry longboard crew a couple fun little lines on the outside but most of the good action was the small reform inside. We need real swell.
Missouri St.	04/24/00 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm	2 - 3' Windswell with a little bit of a minor groundswell underneath. Once again the lefts were the only real call, although I did get a couple nice rights. Overall weak with poor form that didn't merit the extremely large pack up and down the beach.
Missouri St.	04/23/00 11:30 am - 1:00 pm	1 - 3' New little windswell pushing through with clean conditions. A few lined up lefts but the swell overall was lacking any real punch.
Missouri St.	04/19/00 6:30 am - 8:00 am	2 - 3' First time out after a long hiatus from the water. Finally a break from the 2 week flat spell with a major rain dumping storm kicking up the surf. Guess I missed it the night before - it came up suddenly with a major windswell in the afternoon, but by the next morning had mellowed into small peaky stuff out front that was pretty surfable, although the water was was very dirty. Best wave was my second, which was a beautiful right hand wedge. Everything after that with the tide coming was lackluster.
