High Tides and Big Surf

We took a Sunday morning stroll along San Clemente Beach and were greeted with a very high tide and the highest surf I've ever seen down there. It was quite up to the levels that hit during the storms a few weeks ago, but it was plenty impressive.

The Surfer's Prayer: "Please forgive me for what I'm about to do. I really shouldn't be going out there."

Some guys were getting pretty good rides.

A pelican wannabe.

The folks in the pier restaurant were getting a bit of a ride as the surf hit the pilings below their feet.
