Blown' Out

The wind has shifted

and now blows onshore.

Surf that was peeling

is now just a lore.

White capped wind chop

is all over the place.

Waves went from smooth

to rough on their face.

The thing you gotta do

when you find this condition

is get round a point

to a different compass position.

Facing the swells

with the wind at your back

a board in your hands

there is nothing you lack.

You found a beach

where the wind blows offshore .

Now you won't have to feel

Blown' Out

anymore.
