Friday spot check: Ocean Beach, Point Loma
Posted by George J Janczyn on November 6, 2009
There was no surf to speak of this morning though they’re predicting it will build later today and tomorrow. So just a little sightseeing. The Army Corps of Engineers is repairing the OB jetty and replacing its light beacon due to storm damage over the years. They’ll also dredge the channel into Mission Bay. The OB Rag wonders whether the surf will be affected – and has an interesting account of the history behind the jetty. I got the close-up of the crane a few weeks ago when they were preparing to move it to its current position. At Point Loma the tidepools weren’t visible because of high tide, and the combination of clouds and haze made for an average view. I did catch a Navy submarine heading out to sea.

In SB, your third photo would be considered “having surf” You guys are spoiled there! Wish we had the warm water and surf all year round!
We are going to look for some surf tomorrow.
