A few images to capture the storm today. At the time (around noon), waves were about 16 feet, and the wind was blowing at about 20 knots (23 mph) from the south.
Average wave period was about 8.5 seconds.
I dashed out when the rain was lighter, but for the record, it looks like we received about 4.5 inches of rain on Bodega Head during the last 24 hours.
When the coastal prairie is flooded and the rocky shore is unavailable due to high surf, we often see shorebirds roosting and feeding among prairie vegetation. It's always fun to see Whimbrel and Black Turnstones surrounded by Seaside Daisies.
P.S. I can't help mentioning that the ocean temperature is still remarkably high. Today it was 15.3°C (59.5°F).
