The Ice Age cometh!
Of all the apocalypses promised upon your old, and I mean real old, pal DR, Ehrlich’s Population Bomb, Nostradamus’ 1999 “King of Terror, nuclear war, AI gone crazy, global warming, nothing scares like the spectre of a new ice age.
From an important journal some years ago,
It is this melting of Arctic ice which Ewing and Donn believe will set off another Ice Age on earth. They predict that it will cause great snows to fall in the north — perennial unmelting snows which the world has not seen since the last Ice Age thousands of years ago. These snows will make the Arctic glaciers grow again, until their towering height forces them forward. The advance south will be slow, but if it follows the route of previous ice ages, it will encase in ice large parts of North America and Europe.
And, as I shiver in my little rental, a Fuscia ACNE studio cashmere sweater folded around my neck, all three panels on the gas heater on, a report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration showing “coastal waters (in California) are too cold for safe swimming” foretells a future I’m not sure I want a part of.
An intense marine cold spell is gripping the Northern and Central California coast, with water temperatures up to 5°F below normal.
A buoy near Crescent City reported a water temperature of 46°F yesterday. In waters that cold, hypothermia can occur in as little as 30 minutes.… pic.twitter.com/ShPad14Eeb

These well below normal water temperatures due to strong upwelling of cold ocean water are enhancing the marine layer or “natural AC,” keeping coastal areas cool while inland areas experience intense heat (100-108°F in the Central Valley on Saturday).
A staggering 1330 people from cold exposure in the US ever year, around half that from the heat.
Take care out there Californians and wear wetsuit even for beach play.
Melting freshwater glaciers are lowering the salinity level of the ocean which in turn will increase the levels of Vibrio ie flesh eating bacteria in the water. Eventually it may be too dangerous to go in the water.
now they want us to wear a wetsuit while playing “on” the beach? sheesh.
complete with exaggerated color graphics fear chart showing most of the coast is 2-3 degrees below “normal” temps?
is this not just the regular la niña?
If you’re keen on some
Cold Water Paralysis
You know where to go
Could always cold plunge with your Dad to prepare the long days ahead. That said had a wiggle in the spring suit today and we are all cunts.

June is always the coldest water temp of the year. It’s always below 50 in june. Fucking miserable and not worth it unless south swell is running. The north wind has been ripping for 6 weeks now. Go ride a mountain bike.
Global cooling
6mm wetsuit is just something I’ll never wear in my life.
blaphsemy, i say. as white as the winter-driven blow. rachel carson > paul erlich > surfline > newsome > < greenwash. trestles is alive with the next generation of kids not capable of reaching any new heights or maintaining economic success. but bexy is right. it’s really getting kerazzy in south africa. “Siri, what are you making us for dinner? Something to take a bit of the hypothermia away?”

The Irish and the British will feel right at home swimming in California. They don’t know what warm ocean water is.
waves off Co. Donegal in July are in the low-mid-70sF. little thing called the Jet Stream. water a bit warmer than the SoCal “Indian Summers” in late Sept when a chubasco is running up from the sub-tropics
Still wondering why no big sharkies in Ireland / Scotland. Plenty of seals.
MAKE IRELAND AND SCOTLAND FULL OF GREAT WHITES AGAIN.
MIASFOGWA.
I’ve never confirmed with photo evidence, but Jimmy the Saint has always been a great white in my eyes
need more chum…
Kerrzy!!

Certainly makes Punta Roca not look like the J-Bay of Central America.
Definitely better waves in the entirety of “Central America” depending on how that’s defined.
How is he on thst twinny?
Super rad!!
He’s certainly getting the reps in lately.
epic on it Nias
so stoke-ed that that WSL removed this stop from the WCT.
can you imagine the top pros in the world having to surf this mushy schlock?
NGL I like the logo.

30 mins.. Ha! Try 17 hours.
Farrallons has the largest great white sharks in the world as well. Incredible accomplishment.
read an article about the 2 dudes who run a research lab out there, both of ’em lifelong NorCal shred heads from your neck of the woods. one of ’em, I believe, grew up with the dude who surfs the Pit and has been twice attacked.
they sit and watch 2 different slabs come alive from the windows of their lil lab out there, drooling but knowing to never take a bite. I’ll try to find it and send it your way. Pics bore out their tales
Thanks!

lemme know if that works. imma bit clunky with tech
It worked I’ll check it out. Thanks again.
Read the article, interesting. Yea I don’t really see anyone ever surfing out there even if there’s ridable waves. Gotta be the worst place for sharks on the planet.
There was a study done right at the Pit where they put a decoy in the water to see how often a great white checked it out and they concluded that surfers will be inspected on average every four hours by a shark.
The waves have to be really good for me to surf that area.
some of the rare visuals tho…😍
as a screwfoot, it would be hard to resist if not for the paddle out there. never been, so what trinkets I’ve read & seen makes it seem like a haul across some scary waters. you’ve dabbled tho?
also, Fraley’s on the Bonzers?!?!?! Man after my own heart.
I’m a goofy foot too. Yea I’ve surfed that whole area for years. Don’t wanna talk too much about those places. Gets good but sand hasn’t been right for a while there though.
Mr Chase hath returned.
my diqus is all whacked tho, B!
Just wear a sharkband and you’ll be sweet.
“I swear it’s bigger than this, when we aren’t going thru a “spectre of a new ice age”.
Fortunately, humans tend not to enjoy swimming around in icy water. Except the ones that do.
Calithermia
Hypofornia?
Hypofornication?
More wind turbines will fix that.
Go to Queensland ya dumb cunts
Queensland with be the new Tasmania but with less brain cells.
Which is saying a lot on account of the two heads.
Oh wait, that was the subtly of the joke. I get it. 🤦🏻♂️
Fewer
Can report the vibrant diving waters of Amed on Bali’s north east coast are still a balmy 26 degrees. No surf here but the $8 cocktail list is offshore all day. Global cooling is what you make of it.
Hopefully well be able to ski in the blue mountains soon.
