Yesterday at Westport, WA, our local surf break, the buoys were pinging 6  
feet at 14-16 seconds. The outer breaks were HUGE. The reform itself went up to  
6 feet and the (very) few times I managed to claw my way out to the last of 
it I  thought better of it as the waves closeout nature sent spray to the 
heavens. I  tucked my tail in and ran away on the smallest swell I could find and 
that one  was pretty darn big. Enough to have that going over a cliff feeling 
and the  required beatings below. After extended submariner tour of duty there 
was  nothing that could be done but to wait it out and roll slowly when the 
worst of  it was over. The Ocean won.
 
Cheers,

Who has that slight grin from feeling like he got away with something  
yesterday.
