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…
