Fun waves at Mengiat this morning! There was plenty of wind, but the surf was pumping with a light crowd! The stiff offshore breeze allowed fun left and right peaks to form. The lefts offered a particularly fun, wedgy shape, which allowed for plenty of speed for the surfers to do their best turns. The waves were in the shoulder-high range, with a few larger waves. Most of the crowd chose to surf at Chicken Wings on the other side of the deep channel, which made the lefts and rights at Mengiat that much more appealing.

Mengiat is a less-often surfed A-frame peak breaking left and right. The wave is “peaky and bowly” due to the shallow water on the reef and deep water just beyond the reef.
