Monday Morning Shoes

Strong southwest winds this morning. How strong? Whitecaps here and there. 2-3 foot crumblers and that's about it.

Have a good one.

Funky Pretty

West wind is all over it this morning. Choppy and messed up. Waist high junk, ebb tide, no shape. Sets are head high crumblers.

Pretty funky.

Have a good one

Ruffles Have Ridges!

Close order wind swell has the sea surface looking just like a ruffle potato chip. 6-7 feet with plus sized sets. Horrible shape; closed out everywhere up and down the beach.

But on the bright side it's freaking cold with just enough of an offshore breeze to make it really really frosty in the water. About 12 guys out getting hammered and battered about. Mondo large set just came through.

Have a great one.

Post Storm Conditions

Surprisingly clean conditions for storm surf. I'm not speaking to water quality here, just the sea surface. 4-5 feet, offshore with marginal shape. Nobody out.

Remember, public health officials ( and even retired ones like me) recommend not going in the water for 72 hours post rain event. This is sound advice as it keeps you from coming in contact with all the oil, grease, trash, food waste, chemicals, dog & cat shit, human excrement, fertilizer, pesticides, spit, medical waste, infectious waste and on and on and on that is carried directly to the ocean by rain water runoff in the regions' stormwater collection and discharge system.

Amazing that it's the 21st century and we still haven't figured out nor do we appear committed to devising and implementing a effective and efficient stormwater collection and management system. We suck.

Have a good one and think about that some.
