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.
