Evening surf

Some surfers out yesterday evening.  Even though it's overcast, the air is warm.  But the water is still cold so 5 mm suits are still being used.  I expect lots of people in the water this weekend.

It's raining cats and dogs this morning so i took this photo from the car.

Waves are bigger due to the onshore winds and will build throughout the day.  When the wind switches to the south west, these waves will make for some nice rides.

Surf's up!

Return of summer berm?

A rainy morning with a 10 mph seabreeze made this shot a little uncomfortable.  My visit was short but I got a shot of what appears to be the summer berm.  This mass of sand moves onto the beach for the summer and retreats back out to sea during winter storms.  It's very clean and ready for sand castles.  The waves are growing with the onshore breeze so tomorrow may be a good day for surfing.  That is for those of us with winter wetsuits.

Glassy waves and drizzle at sunrise.

Red in the morning...

Gray weather moving in from the south gradually hides a spectacular sunrise.  I took about a hundred photos this morning and half were blurry.  They are interesting to me but not necessarily to you. So this is a fairly clear shot of the sky as I arrived at the beach.  By the time I left, the sky was completely gray.  Tide will be low around noon and I expect to see some surfers in the water then.

Afternoon at Maguire's

A perfect afternoon of surfing for those few who braved the cold water today.  Waves were 1-3 feet with an offshore breeze.  The beach should have been more crowded today but the early rain seems to have kept them away.  Those who made it to the beach had it largely to themselves.

Cool and Foggy

It's cool and foggy this morning at Maguire's landing. A great day for a morning jog or walk along the beach.

Thinking of a destination for our winter trip this year.  Lot's of things to consider such as cost, travel time, surfing conditions, size of group, safety, etc....

Club members need to get deposits in by next friday.  Fund raising efforts continue with pizza sales on fridays.
