Unexpected housewarming parties, especially when they infiltrate your own house, really can make mornings struggle-city.
Waking up late and looking out the window to see heavy post-rain onshore flow creating bumpy chop instead of surf, I sped out of the South Bay to Seal Beach and carried my log down to the sand, where I was pleasantly surprised to find a sheltered area from the wind that had some fun waves…. with absolutely zero people in the lineup.
I checked in for my solo ocean therapy session, and after an hour of zippy little lines and paddling around in terribly mucky water, I said sayonara to the coast, thankful for a much needed head clearing and headache healing session all to myself.
