I just saw this note and was confused.
 
I thought that Natural Bridges was a slalom site or possibly B&J only. Is
there really side-shore type of wave sailing there? How good is it? How does
it compare to D-port and Wadell?
 
Thanks.

     I really couldn't sail yesterday, as I had to pick up a power steering
     pump arriving at 4pm and install it on my wife's stranded car, but
     with Natural Bridges reporting 28 gusting to 31, responsibility took a
     back seat. Arrived at 4:15 and it was 4.5-5.0 on the inside, and
     probably around 4.0 on the outside. Frequent logo high sets, breaking
     way out and perfectly formed - peeling for hundreds of feet from the
     point across the entire bay. Truly an awesome sight. The tide was
     extremely low, making the shorebreak much less gnarly than you'd
     expect, though there was still a whole lotta whitewater on the inside.
     About 10 sailors out - some getting really long rides, others
     floundering endlessly in the shorebreak.
     
     I debated for about 15 minutes, knowing I had to install the pump,
     knowing I'd get trashed in the shorebreak, knowing the conditions were
     beyond my comfort level - then drove down to rig up my 4.5, only to
     realize I had left my wetsuit soaking at home (I wasn't going to sail
     that day, remember?). Oh well.
