Crowds are going to be insane here. Have a few nooks I hope to hit. I’m sure they will be insanely crowded too.

regardless the forecast looks insane!

By the way, off Florida, anyone think this will provide milder version of what came through a week and half back?

PS
Right now its 9-10 ft at 15 seconds...swell not hitting the underside of the pier:

If it does, it won't be providing it for Florida like a week and a half ago did. Current forecast is the current wind bump will get offshore'd away over the coming days, then we'll have offshores and tiny surf for a week. Surflies thinks we might get something 8th/9th/10th but that's way out.

been solid and west for at least a week. christmas eve took it up a few notches and christmas day bigger still. beautiful swell and conditions but size and direction make it more a visual therapy thing than an actual paddle out thing.

today its backed down a little, still in the 3xoh range and lucky for me ive been down with covid the last 5 days. not even remotely tempted

Highway 1 still closed through Big Sur. Walls of death will go unwatched.

???

Is the road blocked off pretty soon coming from the South? It looks like the closure is a very short stretch around Limekiln? 1 was open past Pfeiffer State Park (from the North) as of three weeks ago.

Can't make any promises on douchebags in sprinter vans actually using the myriad SLOW TRAFFIC GTFO THE WAY IF YOU'RE GOING 20 UNDER AND THERE'S THREE DOZEN CARS IN A LINE BEHIND YOU turnout zones though.
