Returning to California Under a Surf Advisory

I flew to Los Angeles on Friday to spend a week working from here while I also have the opportunity to surf. Unfortunately, I also arrived under a surf advisory with incredible waves reaching heights not seen in certain places here in a long time.

I decided to drive to the beach on Saturday morning anyway and at least walk down and check it out myself. When I looked out from the gazebo from the parking lot (where this photo was taken), there were several surfers on the water and it didn't look too bad. But when the guy parked next to me arrived from the ocean, I asked him how it was and he said there were waves to catch but that it was unpredictable and his friend had gotten torn up.
