The animated, Tijuana Plume Tracker is just starting to go off right now with the heavy rains today. I live where the red x is.

That is eye opening and hopefully you'll be spared the turds. So are you one of those Silver Strand locals?

Gunkie- The Strand locals are the guys that live right there in the Kays. Luckily, they're confined there by their ability.
I live in Coronado and surf Imperial Beach. The Ocean currently smells equal parts, sh#t bowl and industrial solvent tank.

Jefe, kind of an interesting part of shark stories is that the females are far bigger than the male sharks. Like about 21 feet compared to 16 feet for those monsters that have reached maturity.
And The Farallon Islands (SF bay opening), a world center for Tippers, has its own girls' bay where the gals hold forth exclusively. Sexual dimorphism, namely. Of course the meaningfulness of 16 feet versus 21 feet is nil when any such animals are present, it is all horrifying beyond most other earthly experiencing. The girls come only every other year while the males are present all years. Funny too is how these animals go off into the deep Pacific (between Hawaii and the USA to their "White Shark Cafe".

Contractor, that Tijuana 'plume' is hideous. My daughter teaches surfing for the UCSD rec services department at Scripps pier. Is the plume getting up there?

Gunkie- She's fine. The coastal back eddy (South to North) stops at Point Loma.
Congratulations on a great gig for your daughter!

I come down from the glider port so my first view is usually middle aged, male, human elephant seals rutting around in the shallows.

Black's at that size and quality would have a bit more than 3 people on it. And I usually approach Black's from the UCSD road. On weekends you can park in the Muir College lot for free and walk straight across to the road down. I always seems to nick my boards coming down from the gliderport; probably from having to avert my eyes from things you can't unsee.
I'll be out there May 5-8 and will hit the Sacred Craft/Boardroom Show at the fairgrounds. Plan to surf mornings and go to the show at least on one afternoon.

These cupcakes get to change in and out of their steamer wetsuits inside a nice warm and dry house. me? I'm the guy standing behind the car getting in and out of my winter wetsuit. Fun.
