After the storm

Yesterday morning I walked the beach walk from North Beach to T-street.  The surf report from the lifeguard tower at the pier (published on the internet website) said waves were 7-12 feet, so of course, I had to check it out.

North Beach--surfers were out despite the high bacteria count in the water.

Stand-up paddler at the Marine Safety Building.  Waves were glassy.

Main lifeguard tower was flying the red flag.  Surfers were out anyway.

Waves were shoulder high at the most but it was high tide.

Other side of the pier--waves look bigger.

Looking south--rain coming...

T-street.  Boogie boarder getting ready to paddle out in the foreground.

Caught "inside" at T-street.  Wind is coming up...note the texture on the wave.

Turned around and the rain hit full force.  Was totally soaked by the time I got back to the truck.
