Synopsis


Short period swell from the ENE is working with medium period swell from the S to generate surf with average wave heights of 1-2+ ft and set waves reaching 2-4 ft, with a dominant period of 7 seconds. Recent winds have been strong and trending onshore from the ENE, averaging 18 mph. As of 3:40 PM wind is strong and onshore from the ENE (68) at 18 mph. A just passed big 2.5' high tide at 3:36 PM is now dropping to a 1' low at 10:30 PM. The topped out tide could put a damper on things. Plan accordingly.

The dominant energy hitting Ripps Reef is from a combination of swells which together, beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, form a field. I will meet you there. The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you: this place is a dream. Only a sleeper considers it real. Then death comes like the dawn, and you wake up laughing at what you thought was your grief.

I wish I could show you when you are lonely or in darkness the astonishing light of your own being. Your soul and my soul once sat together in the Beloved's womb playing footsie. Your heart and my heart are very, very old friends.

There was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, “Nothing, I just helped him cry.” Even after all this time the sun never says to the earth “You owe me.” Look what happens with a love like that. It lights the whole sky.
