Trifin Soup. Photos of the First Day of the Big South Swell

I flew out to Port Townsend, Washington on Thursday but was able to squeeze in a quick visit to 15th Street the first morning of the swell.  Conditions were good, but the surf was somewhat lined up making the rides few and far between but really sweet when someone did manage to snag a corner.  Check it out:

Not all attempts were successful!

The frothy inside section

Driving hard off the bottom projecting to the shoulder

i'm calling this 8 feet.  Any other ideas?

I needed to get home and head to the airport to catch my plane but I couldn't resist a quick stop at Torrey Pines.  It was cleaner than 15th street and had better shape.




Have a good one
Aloha
