The tide was so low this morning you could practically walk out past the breaks. Tons of surfers in the water looking curiously at the sky. After several mornings of a June gloom cloud layer, we all forgot what the center of the univese looked like. The waves were waist to chest high and, despite growing onshore winds, held a good shape. Lots of fun. If you have access to a west-facing beach, tomorrow should be just as fun. South-facing beaches should be good this weekend. If you go to an east-facing beach, you will be in China.

Actually, if you go to an east-facing beach in LA, you’re probably at the swimming beach down at Cabrillo in San Pedro. :-)
Of course, if that’s where you are, then you’re inside the harbor breakwater, so you probably shouldn’t expect much in the way of surf. :-)
Or, conversely, if you’re able to surf in Pedro, then you’re a pretty amazing surfer.
