Big winter swells?

As soon as I started to learn anything about surfing, especially here in California, I was told that winter is the best season for surf. The large winter storms that pummeled us with snow in Utah also push swells south that make for great surf. So here we are, first winter, and little to no sign of large waves headed our way. Well that all changed two weekends ago. Surfline was predicting double to triple overhead(8-10 feet) and really great weather. Well, guess what never happened, the waves. The weather was amazing, it was 80 degrees and sunny and the waves while better than flat, were no bigger than shoulder high at the most. So it made a fun day for surfing in the warmth. Tom, Moses and I headed out just down the street at the jetty that's south of our place. A quick walk to a really nice right handed break. Here are pictures from the hour or so that Chris came and hung out on the end of the jetty.

We shared a room freshman year of college, now we share waves 10 years later
