I grew up skating and surfing in SoCal...San Diego...never anything big, usually in the 6-10ft range.

Nice vid, I love those stacked sets.

A surfing bud of mine from Corpus moved to San Clemente a few years ago, and keeps sending me these types of videos just to make me ill.

Californians might all be joining you here --

"The move from California to Texas was the number one largest national state-to-state move, with a significant lead above the number two largest move (New York to Florida - 55,011 movers)."

It might be a good time for me to sneak in and find a surf shack near San O / Trestles.

Cool video. I'm not a surfer but I love surfing videos.

Here's another good surfing video I saw a while back...

Once you've been a surfer -- the feelings and memories are always floating around somewhere in the grey matter.
These videos sure fire up those synapses!

I had seen the S. Fl footage from Sandy. Heavy.
I used to surf GOMex / Texas hurricane waves. Too hard to stay conditioned for that all year these days.
Last ones for me were Dennis, Katrina, and Wilma swell. 2005 ? Waves breaking in the ship channel at S padre for Dennis.

I take the 21'6" surfski out now on cleaned up swell - offshore wind days.
Catch open swell near the tip of S jetty in Port A if swell is 6' or so.
A blast.
