Re: tides/conditions...
Tue, October 30, 2007 - 11:46 AMtide effects different spots in different ways. I have a book that Surfline put out that's called "California Surf Guide", which lists many of the good spots and comments on best tide, swell direction, season, etc. They do a bit of that stuff on the Surfline website as well. I'd suggest going and checking that out. -

Thu, November 1, 2007 - 2:17 PMI second the comment above. Every spot is affected differently. Even just knowing what is going on with the tides, direction etc when you go out helps you figure out what works for the spots closest to you. I know lots of people who keep records or journals of what was going on with the the tides etc and how the surf was... I tend to just store the information in my head. Course even with all this information sometimes it still doesn't make any sense. If in doubt, go out...
