The surf was crashing pretty good around the lighthouse in SC. I took a brief video, but not sure why it looks kinda crappy on youtube:



So, I uploaded a higher resolution version here:

Later we were walking around the F dock, and a 5-6 foot surge had us running away to keep from getting washed into the harbor. Here are a couple of pictures of that (didn't get a picture until it had started to recede, but still...).

Are you pondering what I’m pondering?

Looks doable. Just need to time the exit out the harbor correctly.   :smt003

With really good timing, you could take a shortcut inside of the lighthouse when coming back into the harbor, by surfing up and over the jetty...
