Hi WSA Surfers!

We have a big weekend ahead with our annual Salt Life Midget Smith Memorial Pier Rat Challenge which will be at T-Street San Clemente. This is event number 5 in our Championship Series. 

The schedule and heat draws can be downloaded HERE.

This is also our 18th Annual Toys For Tots collection event. Please bring a nice, unwrapped, new toy for a deserving child who may not get much this Christmas. Marines from Camp Pendleton will be on hand to collect the presents. You can also make a cash, Zelle or check donation. Everyone who donates will get a Rick Erkeneff designed long sleeve t-shirt printed by Inkwright LLC. This years’ shirt is a throwback to the 80’s.

WSA Head Judge, Pat Downey, has this to say about this weekends conditions and what the judges will be looking for:  
The judging criteria for this weekends event is as follows:

Good Morning Athletes  - 

This weekend’s surf is expected to be in the 2–3 foot range on both Saturday and Sunday, providing plenty of opportunities for you to showcase your skill set.

We’ll be looking for surfers who can execute quality maneuvers in the pocket in the most critical sections of the wave. Those who perform these maneuvers with speed, power, flow, and variety will earn the higher scores.

Please remember: for a maneuver to be considered complete, the surfer must show control and ride out in front of the whitewater. Any loss of control will affect scoring. Also, please be mindful of crushing sections on surfers. 

Good luck to all athletes this weekend. 🍀

The City of San Clemente requests that we don’t serve breakfast out of deference to the local small business at T-Street, West Toast Cafe. West Toast has generously agreed to grant a 10% discount to our competitors and families this weekend. They have great food and drinks, reasonably priced with the best view in town, without having to leave the beach. Check them out at WestToastCafe.com  

We will have Got Milk? providing regular and chocolate milk from Hollandia Dairy. Also , Sticky Bumps will be providing wax. Our new official surf retailer sponsor, Jacks Surfboards, will be on the beach on Saturday with a “spin-the-wheel” for prizes. Salt Lifewill be on the beach on Sunday with activities that will earn one lucky surfer a custom Cole Surfboard!

See you at T-Street!
