Surfing Waves

There’s a 70 percent chance of another El Nino this winter. So this could be a year we see the Mavericks event run, spectacular Pipe conditions, and rarely-breaking waves all over our local beaches. Sounds good, but it will annihilate local sea life and drastically change the character of our coastline. El Niños of course can also mean devastating storms and flooding, so while the West certainly can use the rain, it will come with a bit of trepidation too.

There was still a swell after the wind from the tropical storm had gone. One of these days I will retire and be able to go surf dawn patrol
