High Surf Advisory
We've had rain for the last few days and the original forecast for today was mainly rainy. I had planned accordingly and had a raft of English football games lined up to watch as the heavens opened outside.
Of course, weather forecasting out in CA is about as accurate as it is back in the homeland, which means not very accurate at all.
The day dawned sunny and remained so all day long. However, there was a high surf advisory in effect. Those two conditions combined convinced me to go for a bicycle ride along the coast to see how high the surf actually was.
The sun was warm, the surf was somewhat high and there was a breeze. What this meant in reality is that I had a good ride, stayed plenty warm and ended up encrusted in salt.
The above photo, taken at Fanshell Beach on 17 mile drive doesn't really do the surf justice, but then photos of these types of event rarely do. I did see otters, seals, whales and deer and really did enjoy the warm sun, so the fact that I had to clean the salt of my sunglasses lenses three times was a minor inconvenience.
