And veteran LACo Recurrent/Surfer/Zen Master, Kip Jerger, says "IT's" already here! Just in from Kip earlier this evening:
"The surf at El Porto today was 4-6 feet with bigger sets. Captain Tim Arnold said he saw a 15 foot face at Manhattan pier, and that the body boarders looked liked ants scurrying up the face. Matt Phiefer had a rescue at 5:00 at 30th street that went out past the length of Manhattan Pier. The baywatch picked them both up and put them on the inside between sets. Then there was a Double rescue just as far out at 45th street in Manhattan at 6:30 pm. Gregory Martinez a recurrent and the permanent Darin Nelson rushed down there code three both making the rescue. The rip looked like the Russian River with 2 foot peeks and valleys as the brown sand filled water in the rip rushed back out to sea. Martinez said he only had one fin and got pounded on the inside while Darin had two fins and bolted through the 8-10 face sets. Captain Tim Arnold code three backed them both up, and Baywatch was Johnny on the spot to pick up both victims and lifeguards. I moved down to Rosecrans from 34th street to cover Darin's water. Then again, the Baywatch ran by skipper Rob Pelky, and deck hand James Goldsmith did what they had been doing all day so well. Waited for the sets to subside and dropped both victims and lifeguards off on the inside just before another monster set came in. Good job guys. Martinez said he is wearing two fins tomorrow, and getting a good night sleep.

So break out your Fins, both of them, boys and girls! And be sure to wear them if you are going to venture into the ocean over the next 4 - 5 days. Surfs up!
