The Circus


S WIND 15 TO 20 KT WITH GUST TO 25 KT IN THE MORNING...EASING TO 10 TO 15 KT IN THE AFTERNOON. WIND WAVES 4 FT IN THE MORNING...THEN...SUBSIDING TO 2 FT IN THE AFTERNOON. W SWELL 8 FT AT 12 SECONDS.
I headed down south on Thursday afternoon...
Hoping for some waves...
But 4 hours of surf at a north coast cove...
Led me to opt for cold beer...
Over crowded, windy closeouts...
There were definitely waves to be had...
But the beers were easier to catch...
There were "No Parking" signs everywhere...
"Tow Away Zones" and orange cones...
"No Overnight Camping" & roped off zones...
Yesterday, the PC cam caught it all...
A roping, lined up right wall...
Peeling off the cape...
Right in front of the The Circus.

Just pulled myself out of the 3 ring circus, it's a madhouse down there today Doc, your pic captures it well!

FYI.... to the cute surfer girl who flipped off the crew on the beach when they told you to slow your driving down..... expect "taxation" in the future...

What a beautiful Gulf swell, all the more greeted with a historic heat wave and offshore winds. The doug firs that hang off the head looked like palms and I swore for a minute I was somewhere else.
