Surfers tend to be more tuned into subtle seasonal shifts than most folks. This is not an academic or theoretical or ethereal pursuit it’s straight-up, real-world selfish. Because even though the weather on land may rarely change much in a place like Southern California throughout the year, the Pacific Ocean has very distinct aquatic divides. And the better one understands those divides, the better one’s chances are at scoring more surf.

Good chance, if you live in Hawaii or on the West Coast, you’ve just about run out of excuses for missing any kind of work or familial obligations by now. Can’t really hide a head tan on a Zoom call or broken surfboards in the garage from a loved one. As we’ve been reporting, over the course of the last number of weeks, the North Pacific has barely stopped for a coffee break. (Stand by for some stats on how this run stacks up.)
