An “abnormally large” surf was pounding SoCal beaches on Thursday, according to this Channel 4 news story. Apparently New Zealand is to blame, the upside-down kiwi bastards. Unless you read this LA Times article, where it’s the Aleuts’s fault, the, uh, cold Aleut bastards.
Anyhow, surf advisories are in effect till tomorrow morning, so do be careful out there.
Oh, the eldritch horror of it all!
The Scripps Institute wave monitor shows that the swell is completely WNW, with no vector component from down under.
Best. Title. Ever!
