Windy and lots of snow-- here in DC today-- my mind is on the beach but my eyes are on the drifts.

Window for The Maveriks annual surf competition opens Friday just south of here... expecting 40 foot waves. World's best surfers on heading this way now. Promises to be very exciting!:o:spingrin::tumble::spingrin:

So maybe we wont get those super huge waves here? Cause we were thinking a 20' wave would probably wipe out our house...the cliff is about 15' high...hmmm...food for thought...some are saying 12' and winds up to 22 knots...today the swell is huge..passing over the rocks in front and huge breakers in the channel between the island and the point here...sounds like a hurricaine every time a huge wave hits the blowhole! If this is just the beginning, it's gonna get real interesting here later tonight at high tide...what's it like in Ensenada? Boy, Sta.Rosalillita breakwater is gonna take a poo kicking! I'll post pics of this afternoons high tide.

South wind just picked up at 2PM on Punta Banda pensinsula. Clear skies, but fog has been lurking a few miles off shore most of day. Did see several surfers just below Lomas Del Mar on my drive back up my hill. The water has to be chilly!

Yup, the surfers are out in full force today; plus there was no school today here. Excellent timing!

From Buoyweather;
Looks like 11 to 14 foot swell peaking tonight and then calming quickly in Asuncion.
What size wave does that make at the blowhole ??

There is an enormous swell here right now but that's good to know this is about as bad as it'll get...how about rain & winds? We caulked windows and cracks today. The blowhole sounds like an earthquake though...

talk in the shop today from our two surfers about mavericks. when i showed them the baja nomad board, the conversation quickly turned to "warmer waters".

either way, we won't expect them to show up for work next week.
