Doug,

The forecast that day was actually 4-6 feet, max 8 feet, but the beach we 
surfed at didn't face the direction of the swell directly, so we weren't 
getting any of those 8 footers that day.  You are right about the advisories 
for the surf.  The day we surfed was actually the small day between some 
larger days.  Generally, I don't kayak surf in anything more than 4-6 feet.  
The guys who kayak surf every weekend love the bigger stuff, but I surf only 
about 1-2 times per month.  I am just not out there enough to be good at 
avoiding the beatings and be use to taking them in those bigger waves.

Duane
