Monster Swell....lets see your photos!




the big waves...around 10', are booming into the blowhole yesterday and today. Some sets sound like a freight train bearing down on us and it is raining salt spray! Each wave is so different and spectacular!



Lets see what it looks like at your beach!

Just got back from a spot that you need a boat to get to. Everywhere else in SD today was blown out and walled, but not this spot.

Just ate a Double Double from In-N-Out.

I didn't get any photos of the burger.

Don't wanna know how many boats. :D I'm guessing a lot?? Whatever. Yeah NCSD wasn't impressive at all. Steep angle and long period pretty much powered past us it seems. It was bigger and way better last week with no forecasted swell! Love that.

21 people on the main spot. 5 or 6 further up the point. 2 or 3 down the point. It was freezing cold. I caught 13 waves on my 6'1" Takayama. People had hoods and booties. Head high sets. John C. Stennis cruised by. The talent level at that spot is crap. Has it always been that way? 4-5 guys dropping in on every peak. No communication. Out of control kooks. All in all, a great time but I'm surprised at how many people have ZERO situational awareness of others around them.

it used to be locals only. just like everywhere else, a goon cord came with every new board and surfing came to the masses.

According to news from the Mexican Riviera, they had 16 to 20 ft waves and you could surf right into downtown Acapulco.

The waves have been huge - coming in long series - making loud noises. The pics are from the beach PAST Bocanita here in La Bocana, BCS.

steve- that shot of your old stomping grounds pretty much sums up this swell: size, but windy and crappy. not the least bit epic water temp is down as well
