So Cal Surf...big swell tomorrow.
    #7716742 - 12/04/07 06:20 PM (16 years, 1 month ago)

Anyone living near the beach and don't have to work ought to go watch the surfers tomorrow. It rolled in and started pumping this afternoon here in San Diego. I drove by the beach at about 1 o'clock and it was only about 3 feet. Two hours later I walked out on the pier and it loooked like this....




I called my buddy in Newport and it hadn't arrived there yet, but its on its way. They say it could get to 15 feet tomorrow. So if you've got some spare time it might be entertaining to go watch the show tomorrow. Maybe the bodyboarders will be out getting worked at The Wedge (assuming it goes off).

If you are unfamiliar with The Wedge, its a world famous spot for gnarly big-wave bodyboarders in Newport. Watch this video to get an idea of what it can be like. The last 15 seconds are a couple of nasty wipeouts...

It was suppposed to get to 15 feet today. I'm pretty sure they got all of that and then some on the bigger sets. I was at Swami's (a surf spot in Encinitas, North of San Diego) for a couple hours this afternoon. They told me it was even bigger this morning (and the sets seemed to be getting smaller the whole time I was there). But this was what it looked like. Not bad.

(Sorry about the poor quality pics. Had to enlarge these out of the center of images taken with my point-n-shoot digital.)

all from today...


swarmies


the cove


blacks!


oh baby

btw the wedge takes a south to work, maybe get some wrap-around on a huge W like this but its not going to be that great.  Wedge is a summer spot. 

Would have liked to have gone down to the beach to gawk at nature's splendor but had to study for exams all day :whatever:

Its fun. I body surfed some 15 ft waves before. Its intense but extremely fun. You just have trust yourself to know what you are doing.

There is not a lot of difference between a fox hole and a grave; but knowing that you dug your ditch and climbed in anyway.
