I'm all traveled out from the last two weekends and traveling a lot next weekend so I figured I'd stay home this weekend

Edit: And last weekend wasn't really about the swell or wind. The water was just nasty.

Looks promising..thanks for posting that!

Ill be at PL! Hoping for some decent viz..?

Ken..I know its near impossible, but where are itchy and scratchy? I do remember the tire in the sand ? Are they anywhere near that..?

Ill be there on 6/6 as well..maybe we can finally meet? You are usually there the first sat of the month right?

Yeah, viz is just plain variable, to the point of being effectively random if judging by the conditions report. However, that does give me the motivation to truck my gear down even on iffy days! You Sacto folks do have a bit more of a commute, I think I would probably be a bit more cautious as well if the commute were longer than 2 hours.

I'll be at Lobos this Sunday, and also 6/6, so it'd be great to meet up!

As for Itchy and Scratchy, I've only seen them once, and I was playing tourist so I'd probably never find them on my own. The only thing I remember is that the sand is at about 30ft, and they're in a crack at the top of the reef (at about 15ft). This is at the shallower, southern end of Middle Reef, so it's not in any real proximity to either the HITW tire or the GPW tire. Sorry, I know that doesn't help much!

Well hell..missed you by a day-Im headed there tommorrow. Ill post a report for you when I get home.

Yeah..I knew it was a long shot. Ive never seen a wolfie at PL? Thanks for the effort though? Ill look for you in June on the 6th!
