LA and Socal See Great Waves in July! 7/24-7/26/09

This past weekend we certainly saw great waves up and down the Socal coast. The swell was a great south/southwest groundswell from about 3500 miles away. The angle was something like 195 and the swell was like 5-6 foot with an 18-20 second period.

Basically, we haven’t seen a swell like that in a while, and it certainly compared (albeit smaller) to the 8-10 foot 18 second interval swell that met me in Indonesia.

Below are some photos of the various waves I saw along my travels up and down the coast over the weekend.
