Sunday the 24th we saw some of the biggest waves to hit Santa Barbara in 15 or 20 years. It was insane. Pieces of our pier floating away and people getting swept off the jetty into the boat harbor. In fact my friend was walking his dog on the jetty and a huge wave swept him into the harbor. He is now black and blue with staples in his head. The pic above really doesn't tell the story but this piece of beach is normally flat even on a swell. Another friend of mine has a restaurant on the beach so he had the city build a sand berm in front of it and we hung out until midnight high tide to make sure things were going to be OK. The last time we had anything like this in SB was the winter of 82-83. Now we are back to normal with nice waves and the high in SB today is going to be 75 degrees!! Crazy winter.
