and it is still slowly rising: 58.97 right now. I'm heading out there soon for an afternoon session if anyone else is around and game.

dont go all the way down  , peel off the main wave before you get flushed off , the eddie is fine for the top half. makes things way easier.

It bottomed out at 58.5 this past Monday and it is now at 58.7. The curve has been rising sharply over the last several hours. I believe 58.7 allows one to remain in their boat to get up the eddy but there is a bit of work involved.
