Amazing surf around the world this week ...
50' - 80' foot waves off the coast of Spain, Ireland, California, and Hawaii. One surfer killed in 50' surf in Monterrey CA. Tow surfers going wild.

Some of those waves on billabong really make you respect the enormous power of the oceans.

I understand big wave surfing has really taken off in Ireland in the past 5-10 years.
BTW,any knowledge of the surfing in the Azores? They would seem ideally placed for those big swells coming off the south side of the Gulf Stream.
There used to be a site called "menwhosurfmountains" but it was based around the Cortez Bank scene,some other Cali tow-in spots,and Oahu. I don't know if it's still active?

Yeah, it has taken off pretty big in the last few years. I only got into it about 3 years ago, so there's no way I'd even consider dropping into one of those monsters. I've surfed some pretty big waves but if you come off your board in that, you're in trouble. Especially in Bundoran where it's notorious for sharp rocks.

ps. I assume you were asking xrey about the cali surf, if not, I don't know much about it to be honest.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll check it out.
There are ton of live surf cams on line here in the States. Any beach worth the name will have at least one.
