Seal Resuce & Huge Waves!

Man, the waves were HUGE today!! Driving to work along PCH, I've never seen so many surfers out on the water at Topanga Point, the waves were rolling in one after another, with small breaks between sets. They were perfect too-- weren't closing out early, 10-13 feet, the spray blowing over the crest... AWESOME! All the point breaks in Malibu had excellent, big waves.



We had a seal rescue at the center today too. Cindy and I went out to Leo Carrillo Beach and found a year-old Elephant Seal that had a deep injury, probably from a cookie-cutter shark. We came up with our rescue plan, recruited a couple of guys from the beach to help, and rescued the seal with those huge waves crashing behind us.
