At least a little bit of surf

I took advantage of a few small waves on Friday (Oct. 29), which seemed to be the last of the waves for the weekend. By Saturday, it was pretty small and, on Sunday, it was flat. I got a couple of decent rides, but had a little trouble judging the "fall" waves. I wore a springsuit, but found myself getting chilly as the afternoon progressed. It wasn't the water making me cold, it was me wet, outside in the air that caused me to be cool. I know that I'm only a few weeks (possibly only one) week away from the thicker 3-2 full wetsuit. I don't necessarily dread the wetsuit, but I do dread the cold I'll feel when I get out of the water and shed the suit to drive home.

I was planning to go surfing one night this week since it is the last week that I'll be able to do it after work. (Daylight Savings Time ends this weekend.) By next week, it will be way too dark to surf after work. I just won't have enough time for it. However, those plans were dashed because of strong north winds, which has made the beach seem like a lake. I've been monitoring the swellinfo ap that I have on my phone and, according to swellinfo, Galveston and Freeport is forecasting flat. The Ohana Surf Classic has been rescheduled for this Saturday, but it doesn't even look like they will be able to hold that event either. This will be the fourth or fifth time it has been rescheduled because of flatness. I'm keeping my fingers that swellinfo is wrong! I want to surf this weekend.
