Venice Surf Report 07/23/08 Dog vs.Squirrel

Wow - flat, flat, flat.

Low tide, drained out, no swell AND even a tiny bit onshore already.

Sounds like a good mix to me - I would get on it. The 5 surfers scattered about from the breakwater to the Marina seemed to be having a real blast surfing the ankle high rollers that are breaking in about 6 inches of water, I can't imagine why there aren't more people out.





Overcast and clammy, light onshores - and did I meantion it is FLAT?



No surfing in Venice today.

As I pulled up this morning I saw a woman holding onto her Weimaraner as he checked out something of intense interest on the tree directly in front of him. I couldn't see what it was until I walked around behind her and who should it be but Fred!



OK, maybe it's not Fred, but this squirrel sure had a lot of gumption standing up to this dog. After all, he doesn't know that owner isn't going to just let the leash drop, and the dog, while maybe just curious, sure looks like it would like to taste that squirrel.



Anyways, finally the squirrel says I have had enough and bolts up the tree.

Smart squirrel.
