 Posted: Thu Nov 23, 2006 8:01 am Post subject: How do I Identify "Pinches"? |
 |
|
After reading about cathing pomps in the surf for the last two years I've decided I have got to go try it. Four of us are comming down the week between Christmas and New Years.
Before the board was hacked I read some great posts on how to read the surf. I'm assuming they don't exist anymore. Does anyone know of any good postings I could refer back to? If not, I'd sure appreciate a refresher course.
Thanks,
lance |

A pinch is a narrowing of the troughs or guts in the bar-and-trough system in the surf. If the tide is low and the water clear, they're fairly easy to locate. If the water's a little murkier and rougher, you can still locate pinches by looking for narrow smooth patches between breaking waves. Sometimes pinches are associated with points, places where the sand forms a bar at right angles to the beach, causing the ususal pattern of troughs and bars to be blocked and/or diverted around the points.
Pinches necessarily make long-shore currents speed up, washing buried invertebrates loose from the bottom and edges of the troughs for fish to feed on, but I also target them because they're easier to wade or cast across. Pinches and points together constitute structure, which tends to concentrate bait and what's chasing it.
