"Challenging Yet Rewarding: A Day at Sunset Cliffs"
Dec 13, 2024 - 6:59amSummary: The surf at Sunset Cliffs was unusually erratic today, possibly due to a mix of swells or low tide, though bigger waves and good size were still present. The break was primarily lefts, with the usual solid right closing out. Despite long waits between sets and a challenging surf, the session was still enjoyable and worth the effort.Transcript: Dog, this is Surf Report. I don't know if you surf today or if you're going to surf today, but I'll tell you what, at Sunset Cliffs, pretty fucking wonky. I don't know if it was the mixture of swell. People out there are saying it was the low tide, but quite frankly, like, dude, I've been there at that same tide and it was not that wonky. So I don't know if it's just the mix of swell, but, you know, there's still waves to be had. I will say that. Like, it was good size, some, like, pretty big bombs that came through, long waits in between sets for Sunset Cliffs. But, hey, you know, surf to surf, I was out there, like, two hours. So it couldn't have been that bad, you know. So I'd say worth it to get in the water, but expect to be battling a little bit with the waves. Like, the break was totally different than it normally was. Normally there's this, like, really solid right. And today it was just, like, almost purely a left for the first hour I was in. Like, only a left and the right was just a closeout. So it was, like, pretty interesting to see the reef behave in that way. But yeah dude, surfing some good shit.
