let me be the first, we have a sea wall that is about 8 ft high, it's
covered that and washed down into the garden , Th beach is wider but steep.
width 50 yds, elevation drops from the gate to the water some twenty feet
now.  the waves were incredible today, I went out and caught some great body
surfing (body surfing= surfing w/out board, reserved for the cheap surfers)
,, we had waves about 6-8 foot w/ an occasional monster, worst problem ,
there are tons of blue crabs  that pick at your feet , most uncomfortable!!!
to fast to catch and the water is murky. mark
