The Next Set, notes from the Rogue.

October eve skeg breakers gnawing the shoreline. Holidays & 66th, 10/8/2020.


   Comin' to an end. Feel the emptiness when crossing to the beach. Hell, even the Atlantic was showing signs of givin' up the ghost (no pun intended). This past week had no surf. Shoreline curlers closing in about a half a foot of water. Water temps still bordering 70F. Time is running out. So it begins, the end of my weekday surf. I just didn't get out enough during the week this year. Weekends have been for the boat and fishing; good times. But, I have missed the Saturday/Sunday morning surf opportunities. Gotta get out and get wet. Can't get better if ya don't. 
   Patience, that is what the surf will teach. The next set is comin.'  Muscle cars and beer. They come in waves. The past week's inland lineup courtesy Endless Summer Cruisin' in the OC.
