Staring at this 8'11" and the rain isn't helping...

Guess I will have to check the forecast at the coast. I heard it was a West Swell at 20 ft and that means a beat down for sure. Last time I went out there for that I was reduced to surfing big foam balls on the inside for 2 days. My legs were shot by the time the waves shaped up. Now I know better. There is wind though so maybe kiting? Paradise soon though:)
