High Surf Warning, dangerously large breaking waves of 8 to 12 feet with sets to 15 + feet.
The larger waves are south of where I am –at Sunset Cliffs and La Jolla, but I went to my local beach to check it out, and the surf was impressive here, too. In Northern California, they’re reporting ginormous waves of 28 to 33 feet, up to possibly forty feet! I’d love to see waves like that from a safe distance, of course.
Again, there were dolphins, way out beyond the waves, and no way to get a decent photo.
These are two Imgur videos; some people can open them, and I’ve heard that a few can’t, so I’m sorry in advance. They’re pretty cool. It was a lovely morning.
There have been highly unusual sightings of orca whales in San Diego county but I didn’t see them either, I’m sad to report.
From TMZ, check out these videos of Santa Cruz and Ventura!

Whoa! That big wave at the end! Love your pics and video. A little water trivia that’s always stuck with me is a block of water that’s 5’x7’x1’ (35 cubic feet) weighs one ton. Now imaging that moving! The force it carries is amazing. Hopefully lots of surfers got in some amazing rides to remember.

It looked like they did but there were quite a few rescues too, and today it’s raining so I’m not sure what surf conditions are like.
