Puerto...Or Porto?

El Porto was massive today--no wave riders were present (that I could discern from the couldron of whitewater).  In fact, from Manhattan to El Porto, I saw not a single soul in the water.  Moving past Porto into Gundo, there were a few brave souls out--and to quote all of them that I talked to, their sessions involved "poundings."  I don't doubt it--there was a serious amount of water moving out there today.

South of Manhattan Pier, the waves were large

North of Manhattan Pier, now at El Porto--or should I say, "El Puerto"?--the waves

were even larger.

Moving into El Segundo, you had to be willing to take a beating to session today, though it was

more manageable than Porto or Pier.

Before the reform, this wicked little wave would spin a barrel perpendicular to shore.

More shots from today's South Bay tour will be posted over the next few days.

Until then...

FIN.
