6-meters waves in California?

How is it out of the normal?

California is surfers paradise for a reason...

...meaning doom still valid.

DOOM is ALWAYS valid.

Doom is what makes the world go round.

Some seriously nasty, icy wind here in Northern Virginia. The gusts just really piked up in the last 10 minutes.

U.S. hit by bookend storms. Take a look at WunderMap radar. [link to wxug.us]

it feels like the arctic here in Kentucky
got half a foot of snow and the wind 'cuts' right through ye.

It was warmer last week when it was 15 degrees out

doom is a normal state of affairs

it's the rare non doom periods that allow life to flourish

north-east coast

Very windy and cold in Charlotte NC

This link doesn't work, what is it?

There is a Half Moon Bay on BC coast as well. It must be a popular name. :)

The best part is 19 seconds. You'll see some impressive photos of places like Mavericks or Todos Santos.

We, as surfers, dream for conditions like this. Perfect waves with long intervals.

This is as far from DOOM as it gets!!

Yes, it happens every year an surfers come from all over. No doom.

nasty arctic wind here in ne tenn all day and still going. the poor little birds i feed have sounded so grim and cold out there today.

YES IT IS! The wind makes it super Coooooold....
