I thought about it until I looked at the swell forecast 3.5 sec swells = overhead waves at 18sec intervals. I imagine you are talking about out of Esco? I'm leaning more towards Sunday when the swell calms down

Esco....did you say 18 seconds...that is a LOT of time.....

It does not matter too much where as long as I make it out one more time this week. Wed, Fri or Sunday. I think on Sunday I will try to avoid going that direction due to some freeway being closed.

I'm at 15 and 210 if you ever wannna carpool south.

yeah 18 seconds is a long time but you have to wait for alot of wash on an overhead wave. Plus I'm fat and paddle an x-factor so you know I'm slow.

I took off a bunch of work last week so I got to put in a full 40hrs therfore Sunday is my best day. I drive right by you so a carpool south would be perfect. Should have firmer plans by Thurs.

I've got a plan for the weekend if I want to go fishing.

Plan #1 Freshwater

: Fish Castaic (literally 10 minutes from my place).

Plan #2 Saltwater

: Fish Ventura/Oxnard (just a hop, skip & a jump over the 126 from the SCV).

By fishing Ventura/Oxnard or Malibu I avoid the 405 (

)altogether. This area should be my "home water" cause it's the most convenient (fastest and closest) for me.

Just waiting on the weekend surf/swell forecast to decide. The long range weather forecast is for increasing temps through the weekend & into next week (may wait for the temps to reach "London Broil").
