The fog was so thick this morning that photographing the surf was futile. The density of the fog can be estimated by the quick disappearance of posts in the meadow. Nobody is out in this fog but a pair of fishermen working the surf.
People spent hours surfing these glassy waist to chest high waves on monday. Early surfers had the beach to themselves because of the rain. That rain left by 11:30 (low tide) and the sun popped out to finish off a glorious day of surfing.
Looking north from Maguire's Landing, you can see the beach cut at the base of the dunes. The flat section of beach leads to a berm on the right which should gradually move towards the dunes and reestablish the normal summer beach shape.
I love the sight of 3 foot barrels in the morning....
Today is another brilliant day for surfing. The waves are smaller and the wind is from the west. The water is cool so remember your wetsuit. Forget about gloves and booties. Great for beginning surfing. Remember to use sunscreen.
Thursday was awesome! Big glassy waves and thrilling rides were there for everyone. This is a shot after the fog burned off. I got sunburned.
The wind has died down a bit and the fog covers the cape. The sand eroded over the past few days is now spread flat over a beautiful clean beach. There a lots of people venturing out to the beach to view the damage and collect stuff brought in on the tide. The waves are still jumbled so no surfing today. Perhaps I will go fishing at high tide.
