Nice 8 - 10 ft powerfull peelers & wind to boot. Twisted Evil

- The WEDGE reported plus sets to 20 FT Shocked . Sadly a body surfer lost his life there today when a 20 ft set hit and swept him onto the rocks.

Check out the FOOTAGE, it's pretty cool - a SUPer even got in on the action Shocked

SUP (oar boards) looked like a full hazard in the water.

Sea sweepers should consider their risk to others before venturing out!!

That looks nuts.

Even Manzanita got some steep heavy munchy waves although they were way smaller.
