The Big Swell

Post-Thanksgiving Swell Came and Went Overnight
Thanksgiving Day was pretty much a bust surf-wise, but overnight a swell came storming in. Unfortunately, it faded as quickly as it came, and what was left of it by this morning's session was ruined by a seven foot high tide. The next pulse is supposed to come through on Sunday. Let's just pray that it lasts long enough to capitalize on. Late November is the time of year when big things are supposed to happen. Aside from the Christmas Swell last year, we have not seen anything truly remarkable at Rincon since December 2005. Hopefully we'll get lucky some time this Winter. In the meantime, watch the trailer below from the film The Big Swell from Swell Pictures. Turn your speakers up. Requires Quicktime Media Player to view.
