<---- New Report for yesterday, a surprise sunset session.
So if you've ever surfed at Deveraux, especially during a low tide, you probably have noticed the Leopard sharks that like to bask in the tide pools. The first time I saw them I was coming in after a fun session, navigating bootiless thru the tidepools with about 3-4 men in gray suits sorta hanging out only a few feet away. They were probably only 3 feet long or so, but enough to give me a scare. However, after finding out what they were and that they are a common occurrence they haven't been much of a concern to me. According to a local diver named Charles though, he spotted a 6 foot shark of unknown orgin hanging out a Coal Oil Point on Tuesday. Was definitely not the Leopard sharks that like to hang out there and was apparently a meaty 12" or so in diameter.
