Pastora was blown out this a.m. Yesterday, Todos South had HUGE waves breaking way, way out.

Broke my leash on the biggest cleanup set of the day yesterday and had a LONG swim in. Whew!

I can only imagine how good it is deep in Baja right now. I wish I was getting caught inside Jefe! Get a few for me please!!

I just heard that Mazatlan was flooded by this monster swell...also the ferries are having problems so there will be another fuel shortage in baja sur
as the tankers will be held up...we are all filling up now before the shortage occurs....swell still strong here and the kids are so excited to surf
right in the village and as they are out of school, they don't have to fake stomach aches to skip classes to surf!

What is the cause for such swells?
BajaGeoff - 4-12-2007 at 09:57 AM
Big storms deep in the Southern Hemisphere and hurricanes off the coast of Mexico send us the south swells this time of year. Check out this tool from
Surfline.....it has all of last years info but it is still really interesting. Click on the Pacific Hurricane Watch text to see:

I am sitting up here in VICTORVILLE with 60 mph winds today reading about these waves.....missed everything....got photos ?......
woody with a view - 4-12-2007 at 07:28 PM
jim, it was POOR conditions in SD. local winds DESTROYED the waves. seems like there was ALOT of wind on the outside that lumped it up before it got
close to the beach....
anyone else?
surfer jim - 4-13-2007 at 07:36 AM
Heard Huntington Beach was a mess also....too walled....extreme sideshore currents....and too consistent to paddle out even if you wanted to.....
Tomas Tierra - 4-13-2007 at 02:35 PM
30 to 40 knots on the beach in oxnard for 3 days=trashed..BIG swell though.
nice today though only 20 knots, just the small light crap flyingaround.
