After a long, hot Texas summer I just had to get a little time on the water with a surf board. Threw the toys and the crew in the reliable old Honda and drove west, all the way to the California coast.
Looking for some surf with the ulterior motive of finding some cooler weather. Boy did we luck out there. I have not seen high temperatures over 80 degrees since I have been here, traveling from Ventura and a few sessions at Ema Wood and C Street all the way up the coast to Big Sur and San Simeon.
Spent the past few days kite surfing just below the Hearst Castle and freezing in the 58 degree water. Kind of glad that I have not been surfing since sitting in that cold water would just about kill me.
The locals tell me that during the winters the water is in the low 50's. Takes some hardy souls to play along the Central California Coast for sure.
