3-4ft swell, 74f ! Surfline an online app includes Energy, the wave energy metric (measured in kilojoules, or kJ) to show how powerful and punchy the waves will actually feel, rather than relying on swell height alone. General Energy Scale: 200 – 1,000 kJ: Fun, punchy waves

The balloon flower/bellflower Platycodon grandiflorus is native to East Asia. The root has multiple uses as food or as medicine! It is called kikyō (桔梗) in Japanese and used as crest or pentagram!

Not great waves today! Fun surf as SSW swell builds. Clean start, tide a factor. The tide is a little better for the dawn patrol, and the swell period is long. AM high tide is likely 7.5'+ again.

Happy Wednesday my friends! They say running builds character but standing perfectly still In a thorny bougainvillea to take a 🌸photo builds resilience! Great 7.5 miles and sparkly swim🧜🏽‍♀️

We did a Halloween theme watercolour last night and Milo was fascinated by this one! Was it the cat? He did sink his little teeth into it! (I will never be able to sell my paintings!)

Not great surfing waves -2–3 ft+ with a high tide, with a SSW Swell Morning high tide flooded more than half of Salt Creek Beach.

I’m addicted to California quail, their call is so beautiful! There was a family of five running across the trail and they were too fast for me but I heard them in the bushes! I waited and this one decided to back! Such a nice trail!
