I live 4 blks from the beach in Santa Monica (south side, other side of the tracks). The waves breaking were so loud that it woke me up in the middle of the night.

I went down to take a look this morning before going into work and I saw a bunch of surfers running out to the water and then when they saw the waves they just sat on the beach and watched. The few guys that were out there seemed to be waiting for the smaller waves to catch, the big ones were just breaking too quickly.

the Wedge was pretty big today, the beach packed with people, everybody raising their phones overhead to take pics/ vids.[Click to View YouTube Video] ... more than the board hijinks, I appreciated the commitment to go down with the ship at the end.

What's up with all the lightweights wearing wetsuits at Mailbu in the summer? Even Gidget didn't do that.

East coast surf August 28:

I emailed my boss at 9:30 on Wednesday night (AUG 27), I had an unexpected personal emergency pop up and I would need to miss work on Thursday.

My personal emergency was that Matunuck RI was pumping. 4'-10' faces, offshore winds, perfect swell direction to produce endless left point breaks and two-way peaks. Surfed my 5'6" clone of a CI Average Joe and then a 6'7" egg that catches waves you don't even want. Surfed it with my daughter, who is going to UCSD in a few weeks. Good training for when La Jolla Shores gets decent or small Black's.

We stayed Wednesday night in New Haven CT, right on Yale's campus. Drove into town @ 1:00 am just in time to see a couple of co-eds puking their brains out on Broadway. Apparently all the parties let out right then.

Thank you Cristobal (though a terrible name for a hurricane). Going to the Gunks this weekend because the surf will not be too good.

Surfing v. Climbing... Mutually exclusive pursuits in my case.

^^ Pyro: I've always liked that kind of shot: pulled back with lines to the horizon.

Conditions in SoCal look primo, but isn't this like an average winter day at ocean beach? What's all the hype?
