Large surf finally hits!

For the past week or so we've had high surf and coastal flood advisories, due mostly to the deep area of low pressure offshore combined with high astronomical tides. This has gone virtually unnoticed by us -- until this morning!

We've had quite a few waves strong enough to actually spray our living room window. Our backyard, already soaked from all the recent rain, took on quite a bit of salt water. I almost took the day off work so that I could just hang out and watch the action!

Thank god for the seawall work we did last year. I think it may have already paid for itself.

Speaking of seawalls, our neighbor Carlos brought by an article on how a seawall (similar to ours) protected a villiage in India during the recent tsunami. If I can find that article I'll post it...
