[quote=randii]We've been blessed with two very wet years... we're only a few feet down from full pool right now. Brown's Ravine is indeed quite full, and the Hobie Cove parking lot is completely underwater (I still launch from the shore). We have been getting even more rain in the hills, so the water is up even further than a few weeks ago! CDEC says 97%! We're currently about 2.5' short of the 466' full pool elevation, and we're on pace to beat the 2017 record (~464.12' on 7/6/17)... ACE is working on a 3.5' water level increase in the next few years, so we may find some new records soon. :)
The surface water is surprisingly warm, but there's a perceptible thermocline if you dive in middle-of-the-lake.
The problem I was having was less with the lee hull and more with the windward one... I'd plow that into the next wavefront and it was like hitting a (wet) wall. More practice is required, or better judgement to avoid that angle of attack. :p
It was an incredibly fun ride. I've read the description "fresh to frightening" and now have conditions to match (for me, at least). These were probably training-wheels conditions for AC folks, but my yardstick has different calibration.
