I got down there just around when I thought the tide was going to be perfect, but like I often do, I got a message from some visiting friends who said they were already down there, and it was big. Like as in really BIG.

So of course at got me down there ASAP!

And as much as this photo says it was big and perfect and (more oddly) uncrowded. I watched a few sets roll through and realized why.  However this was probably the most perfect wave I saw at least while I was down there shooting.

OUCH!!!!! BUT man that view must have been spectacular!!!! And worth every pound of the beating that poor kid took!

Looking up the ways towards the reef, it looks like D-man made the right call and was out there with the whole lineup all to himself, and trust me when I say, it most definitely is way bigger than it looks from here where I shot this. Hope you enjoyed todays big and unruly hump day of a report. Hopefully tomorrows conditions will calm down a little bit, but we’ll see. I can hear the thundering waves right now just outside my house, and I’m a good mile from the beach.

Yewwwww - hope mañana is firing ~
