September the best month to surf? What’s your favorite month?

I have to say that September is hands down my favorite month to surf.
I surfed in West Newport this morning, and it was like a ghost town – all the summer madness is gone and there was actually parking. Parking!
It was a bit choppy with the wind - and the water is a bit chilly – but still warm enough for it to be pleasant. There were some fun little waves north of the pier - with nobody out.
And no blackball!
After a short time out there, two beautiful dolphins came rolling by just a short distance away. I love it when that happens.
The water was super clear, with specs of gold flakes shining when the sun hit.
Then, a huge, red, Pirates of the Caribbean style Tall Ship cruised by, likely on its way to the Dana Point Tall Ship Festival happening tonight.
What a morning. I love September.
So I gotta ask…

Septembers always remind me of that first year out of high school . Off to college with new hours to study…and surf. So liberating. Santana winds, no crowds, just happy people on the beach and in the water. Kissing another summer goodbye….
