High Surf Advisory

To all Team and Club Members:

Please use extra caution this week starting on Tuesday when considering entering the water. Most of you are already well aware of a huge swell with a very wide fetch across the Pacific coming our way that is expected to be 4-5 times overhead in Hawaii and 3-4+ times overhead here. Even the Jetty may have heavy water with long period sets with an unusually high number of waves per set. Also the air and water temps are cold and dropping with this front. All in all a very hostile environment for surfing. Swells of this size and scope were last witnessed in 1990 and 1969, according Sean Collins, chief forecaster of Surfline, 19- and 40-years ago. It's safe to say that most of you between ages 11-13 haven't seen the likes of it in you or your parent's lifetimes, so please use extra caution this week and check with coaches if you have any questions about whether to surf or not. Check out Mav's this week; it's supposed to be sunny tomorrow, which would a good time for field trip. Here's a link that asks: "How Big is Big?"
