Trestles local Justin Mattison of San Clemente had no problem with the foggy conditions, and advanced easily. His heat was delayed mid-way through, due to a lack of visibility. It was nice having a free session out there. That was the best part. It was ideal.
Lowers is such a perfect wave, it just pops up and there it is.
Strider Wasilewski was not so blessed. After advancing from the first heat of the morning in the clear conditions, he was denied in his second fog-shrouded heat. I'm groveling for what I can see, and that doesn't help. If I would have known there was a set coming, which you could see from a long ways out when it's clear, I could have waited, got the wave and won the heat. I needed one more wave.
