W WIND 15 KT WITH GUSTS TO 20 KT. WIND WAVES 4 FT. W SWELL 8 FT AT 15 SECONDS.
Checked a bouldery spot yesterday at about 1pm...
The waves were starting to show off a point in the distance...
But there were no takers, since it was still a little messy...
As I sat eating my lunch I saw a guy suiting up...
I wondered if he was gonna make the hike or flounder in the cove...
As he strapped on his bright red PFD I reasoned it'd be the latter...
And I wasn't disappointed as he headed to the kiddie pool section...
Watching him wade out, he was absolutely smacked down by surging shorebreak...
Over and over again, the waves were rebounding & refracting off the stony beach...
Causing warbles and zippering waves between the incoming & outgoing waves...
He never made it beyond waist to chest depth so the PDF was a bit pointless...
Although had he gotten sucked into the riverlike current into the impact zone...
It may have served him well...
I think I may have seen this guy out with his buddy in June.

Tracked back to your earlier pics of the PFD clad blokes .. I have never seen anything quite like that here ... mind if I use that pic of those two sometime???
Now that's some fine, free lunch time entertainment.
I miss Oregon....although I don't think the surf as sexy as the woman in black kicking your arse in a previous post!
Can finger put me up in Astoria? I want to move back.
I posted on my blog, maybe I'll do another, who knows. Take care Doc.
I feel like I need to get rid of my fish name.......
How about Icthy?
Doc
You seem a bit pretentious to me. Like you are better than the people that surf those lesser spots.
I have noticed this in other posts as well.
