Hey, this is Schaler with the report for Wednesday afternoon at 1:20pm.
Inconsistent
and poor+ conditions.
PM REGIONAL OVERVIEW: This afternoon we have a modest, new, SW swell on the rise. Many breaks through town remain under knee high, as better breaks are good for knee-waist high surf, with standout exposures through town pulling in some inconsistent chest high sets. Conditions remain fairly clean as the tide fills in to a high just after 5pm.
This morning's dawn patrol: Clean, 0-1' traces.
Overcast with WSW winds 5-10kts.
This morning our new SW(200-215) groundswell fills in further. Unfortunately, many areas are still close to flat, with better breaks running in the knee-waist high zone, as standouts through town pulling in some inconsistent sets to chest high at times. Winds are light/variable making for clean conditions.
THURSDAY: SW swell fills in along with small WNW pulse, for knee-waist-chest high zone surf at the better breaks. Standouts see sets to shoulder high.
Wind: Light/variable early. Moderate WNW wind for the afternoon 9-12kts.

Big-wave surfing pioneer Jeff Clark broke his silence last week, saying "the reality is I was ousted" as director of the Mavericks Surf Contest and announcing that he has severed all ties with the company that runs it.

Mavericks recently announced that the official waiting period for The 2009/2010 Mavericks Surf Contest will open on November 1st. Mavericks CEO Keir J. Beadling summed up the excitement, saying, “We’re thrilled to announce that this year’s big-wave contest season will begin earlier than ever before. We have long understood the importance of increasing the size of the contest window, but haven’t been able to do so." The announcement was especially meaningful to those who surf Mavericks. After watching the last contest season come and go without any contestable surf, competitors are more eager than ever for the 2009/2010 contest season to begin.
