An evening run near Leadbetter on Tuesday showed some surprisingly good sized waves and a lot of folks out there enjoying them. Should have packed the stick and not the shoes. A lunchtime run on Thursday to Coal Oil showed 0 people out at Deveraux with 3"-6" waves, and 11 people out at Sands in 6"-12" waves.
Our 6th Tropical Depression has formed off the coast of Manzanillo, Mexico. It is looking nice and compact and full of potential. If upgraded she would be Felicia. Could this be our first Hurricane of the season? Earlier this week points south were receiving energy from Tropical Strom Enrique, and I believe some of the crazy weather a few days ago, including some rain in LA, could have been some tropical leftovers. Texas just took Class 1 Hurricane Claudette on the chin and now Tropical Storm Danny-boy is warming up in the gulf.
This picture of a dolphin in a wave is making it's way around the internet by the droves. It is a dolphin, not a shark.
