Waves are very large here today with plenty of wind also. I hope this doesn't screw up my fishing plans this weekend.

Bigger but junky here in OB. Would love to get out but it's totally disorganized and blown. Wind blew all night. Hopefully will clean up for tomorrow
or even an evening session.

Surfer Jim,
Just got back from Baja. Saw the same thing you did on Thursday at Surfline and decided not to wait and see. Got to Rancho La Concha at about 3:00
Friday afternoon. On the way down, K55 was breaking big and clean north of the point. Hoped that was a sign of good things to come, but alas, all
that came along where I camped was a pulse on Sat PM at high tide. Overhead drops and fast, pounding beach break. Driving back today Calafia was
looking fun. Definetly overhead but there were at least 20 guys on it. I took a pass. Hope you scored where ever you went.

I talked to Rosarito last night and heard the waves are BIG. Surfer Jim, what are you driving? Maybe I will stop by there on the way north and say
hello.

High Surf Advisory
Got a High Surf Advisory
from the National Weather Service on my pager for Orange and San Diego Counties. through 9 PM on monday....
Quote: | The large south swell from Hurricane Howard will create widespread surf of 5 to 7 feet with occasional swells to 9 feet in most of Orange and Northern
Can Diego Counties. The high surf will also occur in Southern San Diego County, but will not be as widespread. The swell is expected to peak sunday
night and monday. The swell will then turn to the soutwest tuesday and will will then begin to decrease.... |
I'll Bet Mexitron is kicking himself for postponing our annual Labor Day trip to to Blanca for a few weeks...Personally I like it calm for fishing....

Totally inconsistant here in OB. The south swell blows right by us here. Just talked to my buddy up at Faria and he said its clean, consistant and fun
size.
