Thanks for the tips! Staying a 15 minute walk from the Zippers area. Not worried about the locals at Zippers; we're goofyfoots :) Rented a 4WD jeep. Plan on hitting Shipwrecks, 9 Palms, Cerritos, other spots. Like the low tide Costa Azul novelties.
Staying in an Airbnb here:

Was surfing Black's the weekend before last. Scored very uncrowded, glassy, shoulder high conditions two Friday dawn patrols ago. Really fun waves.
Thanks again!

I had it wrong, I thought you were in front of old man's. It looks like you're a 15 minute walk up the beach heading west.
Purple being Zippers, then Coasta Azul (the rock) then Old Mans on the far side of the headland.

I was in Colorado this weekend and tried out river surfing! It took a bunch of tries but I finally was getting up and riding. Pretty fun.

From a superb Bryan Di Salvatore piece in Surfer's Journal. I'm really starting to believe that the best climbing writing is actually by surfers.
"My wife calls me a hermit with social skills. She doesn’t know the half of it: sometimes my own company flat out pisses me off. People grate on me. In the water, too. Especially. If I were to list the most dreadful spot in the world, it might well be Kirra at full pump. Part of my aquatic misanthropy is garden-variety neurosis, part of it my constitutional passivity and shyness, and a lot of it plain selfishness. I was, at my best, a journeyman out there, lower-middle of most packs."

Don't want to get all wet. There's always salt farming.
Don't mind getting wet and not afraid of head injury? Take your supper at the Wedge

Or maybe a spine injury

In LAX right now waiting for our red-eye back to the east coast. Had a great time surfing Los Cabos/Costa Azul & east cape. Hit a bit of a swell nadir, but got good to great surf every day. Surfed Zippers with 14 people in the line-up on a head high+ day and got all the waves I could handle. My son also got his share or more. Loved the real locals (MX) hated most or all of the ex-pats; dickheads all around. Had to stuff one of the ex-pats into the rocks because they snaked me on a bomb out the back at Zippers. I stared him down waiting to escalate and he said not a word and didn't even paddle for another waves that I even looked at. We got in good with the Mex surfers by giving waves up front and they started blocking and hooting us into set waves. We dropped our extra wax for them on the way out and we're all amigos now.
Will be back. Thanks for the tips!
PS - now looking at a bombing swell for the east coast next weekend.

Some tropical south swell that hit Huntington Beach back on the 18th... It was pumping!

Classic Z, where did you dig that out? I grew up blocks from that beach.
Since they built the golf course on North Island, it's rarely any good but it has it's moments.

Danny Bussell was the only one who would go out one day when Central beach was breaking several feet bigger
None of his rides approached the length of these
RIP Danny
The military police arrested me out there long ago when I lost my board and it washed up on the wrong side of the fence
After several hours I signed an affidavit promising to never trespass on a Federal Reservation
This was a bit before 911
What would happen now?

Same thing. They arrested my wife, I kept surfing. Fortunately her Dad was a Navy pilot and she got off but our Sentri pass was almost denied years later due to the incident.
In that Video is a young Dann Mann who is a notable firewire shaper and Mike Gillard who was king of the Reef at Cardiff at least 6 or 7 times. There was definitely a solid tube riding tradition in Coronado.
