On this particular morning, everyone who got up early was happy they did. The surf was small, but fun. Perfect little waves kept rolling in for the 7 or so of us that decided to get up for dawn patrol this particularly February morning. Water tempts now are well into the 70s and while a shortie seems like a good idea while it’s still dark and feeling cooler, it’s not a total necessity. Much warmer than Lima…
