Not at Shores but I remember surfing in Winter1983 when 25 footers came into Blacks . Triple overhead, epic and dangerous
That was the year half of Crystal pier in PB got torn off by waves

Wasn't that also the year IB pier got demolished even more than it did in 1980 or something like that?

Time to 'turn and burn' if you see that wave! Oh yeah, and pray!

Difference is waves like that happen this time of year on a regular basis up there. Big winter storms in the North Pacific send out huge seas which ultimately hit certain areas of northern ca. Mavericks, Ocean beach, Ghost Tree amongst others. Difference is most of the storms up there are way heavier then what you see coming up from mexico during our summer time so the effects we see here are not quite as dramatic. Now Cortes Bank...thats a diff story.

Just wait for the lull and you'll be fine.

Paddle out on that sucker.

important part of this is the ban on personal water craft in the marine sanctuary. Absurd. Puts people at risk surfing there. The environmental lobby here just doesn't care. If they dont care about human life as in this instance, imagine how little they care about recreational fishing.

I agree, i mean how much damage could a couple of PWC's do to the ecosystem there?? Hell the wave only really breaks to where its worth surfing a small portion of days out of the year. If nothing else, at least allow them to be present days in which big wave surfing events are going on. Makes you wonder if the guy who picked up this kid from the recent incident at Mavericks is going to be in trouble for having that PWC in there and saving that guys life.
