Friday surf?

I am sitting in my cubicle down in Chinatown contemplating if I should head out for an afternoon surf. It is hot outside, so a dip in the ocean is probably what I need. But the crowds.. sheesh is everyone thinking the same thing? I have my 6' fish with me that Eric Howard shaped for me, but I have not really had a chance to ride it. I keep grabbing one of my longer boards as I don't want to sit inside and battle for waves. Anyways.. did you get out today? Any report on conditions? I hope we get another little bump soon as it is getting pretty small out there.
