The previous record was 32.8 feet, set in 2008."<br /><br />And yes, I'm very conservative when it comes to watching big waves...always being careful to choose safe spots for viewing. My dad always taught me to have the utmost respect for the ocean.<br /><br />Jackie<br />Jackie Soneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13821666641976187688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3407463303452874808.post-84803587128154186072017-01-23T12:45:15.893-08:002017-01-23T12:45:15.893-08:00This is impressive.

It's hard to understand that much energy...and to see it being released against the shore is scary. I also marvel at how any of the marine invertebrates in the rocky intertidal zone can withstand that sort of impact.<br /><br />Aside from a January 2008 storm, I think the waves on Friday night/Saturday morning were the largest I've seen on Bodega Head.<br /><br />JackieJackie Soneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13821666641976187688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3407463303452874808.post-64076339442375658042017-01-22T08:56:27.586-08:002017-01-22T08:56:27.586-08:00I was out there yesterday on Doran.
