Surfs-a-Thumping Surf Report

We have seen a large spike in swell size here in San Diego today. Today, I went down to my beach break and watched a friend get continually drilled by set waves, and picking off more decent sized waves as they appeared. I'll post some pictures up tomorrow, but the wave sizes were easilly overhead + on the set waves - probably in the 8 to 9 foot range! Unfortunately, most of the beach breaks here can't really handle that size, and so close outs are the norm. However, every once in a while a nice shoulder will form and the opportune surfer can score a nice ride.

From all indications, it appears that Friday and maybe Saturday could see some HUGE surf - in the double overhead range! That will certainly be a day to go and watch the awesome power of mother nature...

Oceanside Pictures

Last Saturday, on the way to pick up balloons and a cake for my son's 6th birthday party, I stopped by Oceanside Harbor to get a few pictures of the beautiful day which was just starting out. Here are a few of the better pictures:
