Our Beloved Launch...

[Willy]

Went to check out the waves in La Jolla today. They were epic.
I can actually use the word awesome and really mean it.

Thought I'd check up on the launch as well while in the neighborhood...

[newguy01]

wow that's going to take some time to get repaired.............:confused::confused::confused :

[T Bone]

man that sucks...It wont really stop anybody from fishing,its just gonna SUCK

[JoeBeck]

Cool pics. If I remember right that happened last year or the year before as well. I was down at the shores today and there were actually people in the water surfing :confused:. The water looked nasty.

I hope that doesn't take too long to fix. :(
Did you get any pictures of the waves breaking off the point? I've heard they're huge.

[Willy]

I did, but they don't really do the size justice:

While I was out there a thunder cell moved ashore between Blacks and Torrey Pines. I saw several lightning strikes out on the water. Quite a show.

That is some strong yellow tape, holding that together...wow...:doh:

[emrliquidlife]

Billy, that pic really gives perspective. The surfer looks tiny compared to that wave.

Where was the seal lady? So, whats with that yellow tape? What does the sign say?

Since I moved up here to the PacNW, I often dial up the LJ Webcam in the middle of winter and remember that beautiful SD County weather. The past few days; the weather up here has been better; that don't happen that much in January; believe me.
Here's a photo of El Ninos past; this one is from the 1983 edition; way more severe than what's happening now. If you go in; don't swallow.

holy smokes! waves, the launch, everything!

Off topic but too good not to share. Best Scripps surf I've seen since the 96/97 El Nino.
