While the rest of the country deals with snow, floods, rain and ice, San Diego gears up for MASSIVELY BIG SURF. I'm talking HUGE...like 12+ feet waves. The funniest thing about this...people don't get scared about the waves. They get excited for it. Granted, they board up windows if necessary and put up sandbags, etc., but the beach is almost as crowded when the surf is huge as it is on a warm and balmy summer day. Seriously...people love this stuff. So, I figured I would go and check what it was all about (and get Keegan out of the house while I was at it)...and take some pictures to document it while we were there.
If you look really closely at the top of the following picture you will see a bunch of surfers out in the water (no AJ isn't one of them...although he did go out earlier in the morning with our bishop). I personally thought they were all nuts, but I guess with the lifeguards in a boat right in the middle of them all they figured that they were relatively safe.
Most of the day was actually beautiful and sunny and clear, but towards the end of our little walk the mist and the fog started rolling in. It was actually kind of pretty.
Welcome to winter in San Diego!!
