So, I was under the impression it only gets big in NorCal. Not true my friends. The old J-O-B sent me off to Miami for a few days but before I left I decided to jump in the water. Venice was solid overhead surf, closing out on the beach. So big in fact the lifeguards had a tractor and they were pulling the towers away from the water as the big waves flooded what is normally dry sand.
There were no takers in the water and I chatted with one of the guards who told me it was only getting bigger. The thing was, the waves were pretty clean, they just needed a spot that could handle them. I got word there was a place about 10 minutes drive south that would most likely be working. I packed up and hit the road.
Waves were a bit smaller and much more manageable. I got a few but not many, the spot was tricky and will definitely take some getting use to. Always good to explore and find a new spot though.
I even found a video of the same place going off on a really big day, much bigger than when I was out. So yes, it does get big in SoCal.
