Much to my surprise, a very large south swell was running at Natural
Bridges yesterday. I didn't know that this could be a killer
wave-sailing spot. Sets were logo to mast high. Wind was light on the
inside, 5.2-5.7 on the outside. Half a dozen hardy souls made it out
including Paul Seibel, Kai Katchatorian, and Sean Akin. Several less
hardy folks, myself included, never made it out or bashed their equipment
on the rocks. Most had to launch upwind at the second cove upwind and
swim out 25 yards or so.
Waves were pretty much closed out near shore and the normal launch, but
the breaks were long and smooth about .25 mile out and upwind near the
marine lab. People were getting some really nice rides, and working 'em
all the way back to the bridge formation.
It was pretty impressive. The biggest I've seen it.
