The waves today were fairly choppy. While they weren't the tallest, the broke very strongly against the shore. There were surfers at the beach, but not many actually out in the water. I was able to catch several waves, I had a few good wipe outs as well. After taking a surfboard to the face, I figured that it was enough for one day.
Most of the waves I caught, it was really just the waves catching me, and I was able to stand up briefly inside of the whitewater. Hurricane Ida is headed straight at Pensacola. I'm planning on heading down to the beach on Tuesday, just to take a look at the waves. Forecast is calling for 15-20' waves! I also have been experimenting with my go pro hero camera mounted to my board. 
Wow, 15 to 20 foot waves will smooth out the sand bars. Will it deposit more sand or take it off the beach?
ReplyDeleteHave you hear of any big name surfers coming to the Pensacola are for that size wave?
What kind of camera do you have that is waterproof?
