Finally some decent looking swell in the forecast. New S and W swells will both start to show on Friday and provide waist to chest high surf at most spots with head high plus surf at the top spots. Both swells fall off some but waist to chest high WNW wind swell will follow into next week. Weather has hint of fall already so we can expect some smooth days with glassy surf up and down the coast if it all comes together as it looks like it will.

The surf has been a very small this summer in Santa Cruz. Looks like it has been a good summer for SoCal as they get the SE swells that mostly miss us and the general size of swells have not been to strong for the miles of beach breaks. It has been consistant for lots of fun surfable days down there. Up in Central California the water does not warm as much and some summers can be small and inconsistant like this summer has been. Pretty small currently in Santa Cruz with continued small ankle to knee high SSW swell through the week. Next chest high SSW due for Friday and into next weekend. San Francisco will see the small SSW swells this week and get some WNW wind swell mixed in for occasional chest high surf with possible smooth mornings/days.

Dog gets some rides on skimboard as the 2012 Senseless Skimfest Pro/Am Final gets underway at 26th ave Santa Cruz Ca. Even Bill Beaker Bryan takes notice of the new competition.

The Fourth Annual Boardroom Skate Contest was held at the Capitola Mall on July 20, 2012. The weather was warm for the skaters as the put on their best tricks in a one minute individual run and then mixed it up in the jam session.
The contest raised money for the Capitola Skate Park and a small percent went toward a skate park in Uganda that the Boardroom adopted.

Thanks to the TC, all the staff, the participants, and the sponsors that included Nike, Volcom, Globe, NHS Inc. and Red Bull.
