Location: Doheny

Date and Time: 11/30/2010 at 3:15 P.M.

Air/Water Temperature: 62°F/57°F

Atmospheric Conditions: Cold, sunny day with a light onshore breeze.

Ocean Condition: A little ripply because of the wind but still very calm.

Swell Size: Flat

Tide: High tide

Additional Comments: There were absolutely no waves. I know Doheny is never the biggest break but it was as flat as a lake out there. There were no people on the beach or in the water. The water was infested with seagulls. Looked like a decent day to go either paddle boarding or spear-fishing because the swell was so small.
