How big was it at your surf spot yesterday?
« on: January 19, 2018, 08:52:54 AM »
Pleasure Point was HUGE and clean. I did not go out. Swell was 21 feet at 19 seconds.

This is Peter Mel barely sneaking over a bomb set wave at Mav's yesterday.

You win, but here in San Diego we have had 4 straight days of DOH fairly clean surf. Really the first largish swell of the year.

I was hoping to go out this PM, but it looks pretty violent from the surfcams.

Looks spectacular and way too much for me.

OB wasn't rideable at all IMO. Looked like a war zone. Some people might have made it out to the outerreef, but this is WAY beyond my pay grade.

Can Davenport be ridden at this size? How about inside at Santa Cruz?

My local spots were huge for the past few days. And just 200 km south, Nazaré was absolutly bombing, Probably the biggest waves ever riden.

Portuguses madman was on this wave that many are calling the biggest ever. Hope a cleaner video pops up:

Well.... It's not that big here, but it's been big enough at high tide to take out part of the parking lot down the street from my house. The outer reefs are even firing at high tide.

It's not overhead to me!
8'8" L-41 ST and a whole pile of boards I rarely use.

WOW! I have East Coaster envy. Would love to head back out this winter. Maybe in Feb.

I was not out SUPing, but surfing with my 7'0.

This was taken in a very sheltered spot, miles away from Nazare. Guess what happens next.....

Ian Wallace at Mav's yesterday.

Maybe Beasho will chime in with the standie report out there the last four days.

  REALLY BIG YESTERDAY!

Didn't surf it but mysterious reefs (way outside) were showing that I haven't seen break for a couple of years.
 
Buoys are still 15 feet at 14 seconds.

Here's a spot known as Dinosaur Caves just North of Pismo Beach Pier.
