I kayaked in the ocean early this morning. It looked fairly calm, but I was intimidated by the 2nd row of swells. My ride back in was not pretty. Made the decision to abandon ship as a large wave crashed behind me. The wave knocked me over and rolled me around. The kayak and paddle made it to shore…and I followed soon after!
The swells increased during the day- rare for us to see breaking waves that far from the shore line.
The surfers are excited about the big waves. Swimmers should use caution- the current is strong and the breaking waves are powerful (speaking from experience- and I was wearing a life jacket).
