Huntington Pier

"Huntington's got some meat on the bones this morning and the tide's pushing in, so the banks are actually standing up proper. Three-foot faces with some shape to them, light offshore doing its thing from the northeast. Here's the bummer though: it's already hectic out there, shoulder to shoulder at the pier, and that crowd's gonna chop this thing into mush inside an hour. This is a dawn patrol situation or you're gonna be fighting for scraps. Glassy conditions won't last once the sun cranks up either. Best window: 5am–7am — offshore winds and banks still dialled before the crowd shows up"
