well howz about that; strong, wsw turning w for mc. last time this happened it was Dec and the setup was heavy and walled up by the pier making big hacks a game of get it or it gets you. no laying out a slash of water on some innocent little push over wave cuz these monster trucks fight back. call in sick, make the drive from el salvador or fly in from hinkley illinois, but whatever u do, dont pass on this one even if you got a missing center line. pull ur self up wounded wolf lakers its rig and rip.
looking good 2 to 7 ya?

Absolutely Nuking at Wolf with crazy gusts that had my van rockin, just walking at the path was strange... windsurfers gotta be doing 40+MPH right now....fun as hell to watch...even the waves were near a foot there. Be safe!

the waves were the story today. great angle made them long and the sandbars left em super pitted, and bursting with energy. just cant say enough about the place when all things align for wavesailing mc. a good whip in with that angle made for a couple turns throughout some great sections with real pockets to bust whatever u wanted. cutback airs and other flip tricks were just perfect to toss up on this angle too; making it much easier to land back on the wave with some speed. crazy big sun engulfed the city skyline burning it up with blues and greys against a cool green warmish water. 1st 2012 standout wave sesh etched in my head.
