Huge waves
Well, yesterday and today simply do not compare. Our waves just started growing and growing and smashing about an hour ago! The pounding is non
stop!We guess they are over ten feet high and climbing. Nasty mess out there.
FOR THOSE FAMILIAR WITH LA BOCANA, FROM OUR HOUSE WE CAN SEE HUGE WAVES AT ROCA BALLENA, SOME 6 MILES SOUTH AND IN SOME AREAS. OUT THERE WHERE WE HAVE
NEVER SEEN WAVES BEFORE.
WE HAVE HEARD THAT THE WATER HAS REACHED UP TP THE NEW BEACH RESTAURANT AND CABANAS ... MAYBE THIS CALLS FOR MARGAITAS SO WE CAN TAKE SOME PICS.

Hey Blanca, that first shot looks like a solid surfing wave. You have a new secret spot to tell us about?

Right in front of the house! Is that supposed to be a secret? When there is wind, that also happens to be the kite boarding place to be as well.

Hmmm...those pesky scientists kept saying something like this was going to happen and they said it will happen more often. They sure do get lucky with their science

Wait, it took scientists to say a hurricane swell will hit the coast of Central Baja. They have been hitting the coast long before scientists were
even around. Let me be a scientist for a sec..... I guarantee there will be a bigger swell in the next 1000 years. And I also guarantee that there
been bigger swells within the last 1000 years. Now pay me Obama! I'm a scientist......

have the waves passed by and died down or is there continuing threat to buildings and other infrastructures.
Whishing all insignificant damages.
I do love watching Mother Nature.
