Sailed a 4.7/8'6'' (180lb) overpowered from about 11:15 to 2:15 at Alameda.
Nice swell for launching huge port air. People were either jumping the backs
of the swells for good air coming in on starboard, or "surfing" them all the
way into the beach. For whatever reason, storm action at Alameda gives a
better angle to the swell (for jumping or riding) than any other spot on the
bay I've seen. Maybe the wind swell wraps around the island??
