Surf's Up! There was a high surf advisory this week end due to all of the storms but that did not stop us from taking a trip to the Central Coast. It had been a long time since we had taken a weekend trip. My goal was to sit on a rock and listen to the waves crash! The water was really rough but it certainly didn't phase the surfers. The weather was wonderful. I couldn't believe how beautiful it was. I almost felt guilty for enjoying myself so much especially when I have friends who are experiencing so much rain and tons of snow. One friend claims she is inside a snow globe! Sorry Sandi!
It looks calm enough, doesn't it? The rock marks one side of the entrance to the bay. There is a jetty that extends from the rock across part of the opening...let me show you.
I walked to the right and climbed through the rocks to get into a position that would let me see the west side of the jetty! Okay, so it sounds crazy but it was safe. Let me show you what I watched!!

It was exciting to watch the waves crash. I am always amazed at the force of the ocean.
It is Outdoor Wednesday and it was a sunny and partly cloudy day at the beach. Please visit all of the other folks who are sharing their outdoor experiences today. Outdoor Wednesday is being hosted by Susan at A Southern Daydreamer.
You really took some wonderful pictures. The sky the water even the seagull all look great.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of the crashing waves. -Delores
ReplyDeleteI love that sound which waves slapping against boulders make.

ReplyDeleteGreat photos! I could sit and watch the ocean for hours.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever read a small book called Walking the Wrack Line by Barbara Hurd? You'd love it.
Such great pictures! My favorite thing to do in all the world is walk the beach and hear the ocean waves.
ReplyDeleteFantastic photos, Kate, expecially when the surf's up. Going to the beach is good therapy.
ReplyDeleteI love to watch surfers but yet it scares me too. It must be fun, but I would never ever try it even in my younger days.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. I adore the beach:) Makes me want to get into my car and drive the 4 hours so I can be there too.

Fabulous shots! I never tire of watching and listening to the surf whether it is the gentle waves upon a sandy beach or the crashing waves upon a rocky shore.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your day at the coast with us.

ReplyDeleteWonderful photos Kate. Wish I had been there too. It is amazing how different the East Coast and West Coast are.
