got the queen yesterday afternoon on a big twin fin. 6'8" channel bottom and it was a dream. today, out front was mental. unseen in years outer bar, doing looney things at 20'+. some crew from ventura showed up. guess the guy works at patagonia. he was doing step offs. ski driver was good, until the guy lost his board and they both got caught inside and had to worm their way on the inside to CI harbor before jamming back to vta harbor. my friend rented a room on pierpont, on the beach, and i got an invite. last night was all mellow. this morning turned a bit wild. the place got destroyed and cars and people swept up seward. pandemonium! pretty sure someone will post the video of it. inn on the beach is messed up. even flooded the 2nd floor.
here's the step off of the early morning.

Goddamn how I can genuinely hate where I live? Looking at all the footy, I should have packed my bags and left at 4am. So tired of junk conditions during big swells, while so many other areas looking glassy and clean. ffs :toilet:

Conner Coffin on Instagram: "Peanut gallery some shitty I phone clips, me and @ryanperry frothing on the beach, and some actual waves !!!! In all honesty this is one of the biggest swells I’ve seen around here and it pretty much overloaded a lot of spots by mid day. I think every parking spot around was taken and everyone was on it! Epic to have some surf and some energy around!!!! #swell #805"

You'd think he was running from hot lava. A little dramatic, but pretty wild how far down the street it pushed. Should have just jumped on the back of the fire truck.

Also, I've watched a couple versions of this and props to the firefighter who stayed on his feet the whole time. Huge accomplishment with the bunker pants on.

Not by a longshot.
The early February mysto/ghost swell of 2006 was the biggest I've seen.
Lived near Hammonds at the time.
Walked down for a AM check and it was 2' chunky, morning sickness wind.
Came home, started some honey-do chores.
Around 11ish I heard what I thought was surf. Walked back down for a look, and holy fook!
It had jumped to 10'+ non-stop freight trains. Sped home and grabbed a board and tried to paddle out at Hammonds, ended up half way to Sharks past Miramar W/O making it out.
Sandbar was all-time huge as well as Rincon. 10-12'+ with bigger sweep throughs from the outer reef.
By mid-PM the next day it was all over.
Don't get me wrong - This is a remarkable swell event.
Should be another epic day as the wind and surface conditions are all lined up again.

agreed! This area turns every swell into garbage, and is as crowded as swamis at spots with no waves
