Rescue Season


SW WIND 15 TO 20 KT...BECOMING S 10 TO 15 KT AFTER MIDNIGHT. WIND WAVES 4 FT...SUBSIDING TO 2 FT AFTER MIDNIGHT. W SWELL 12 FT AT 16 SECONDS.
It's that time of year where people drown on Oregon beaches...
The sun comes out but it's still 14 foot seas...
And ohhhh...look! A sandollar...
That simplifies it too much...
But the few surfers I know & associate with...
All have their stories...
Clueless parents letting their kids play on the steep beach...
Soft Toppers riding the rip out into massive lineups...
Tourists getting swept off jetties...
It doesn't really matter what the season is...
Although summer is more forgiving...
I coopted the cartoon last year...
When a few friends were involved in a series of rescues...
Hasn't been as active this year...
But a few moments came close as I understand.
