On Wednesday (9/17) several of my friends were chased out of the water by a GWS at Virgin Creek, a popular surfing site on the north side of Fort Bragg.  Coincidentally, I was surfing a few miles up the coast from there at Chadbourne Gulch (Blues Beach) on the same day.

It's not as interesting as arguing about Annie's Mac and Cheese, but I just thought I'd let folks know--like anyone looking to dive around there.

GWS . . . the reason I'll stay above the surface on the north coast.

We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.

I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center.

Thanks for the info.  Orcas are also back feeding the same area.  My wife feels the need to tell me that before I go diving.

I think they're starting to think about moving offshore to that area between CA and Hawaii that they go to in winter, but right now the water is real warm, the sea lions are back, and there's ton's of sharky food around (including old surfers like me).  So if I were thinking about migrating offshore, I'd want to stock up before the trip.  Pick off some slow surfers or something.
