The sea is a fickle mistress; she's seductive, beautiful, and very, very deadly. This is hard to watch, but maybe necessary

Are there actually tsunamis that hit in one of those big curved surfer’s platonic ideal of waves/The Great Wave Off Kanagawa? I had always assumed they’re like sneaker waves that go far inland at high volume and depth, but figured they wouldn’t really do the surf’s up kinda wave.

It was a very high tide, aka King Tide, yesterday. Jan. 11, 2020. Cold and exhilarating. An approximate forecast of 14 feet, 16 seconds. High tide was at 7.97 feet at 11:16 am. John and I were checking out the King Tides along Trinidad down to Arcata. The strength of the surge can be seen on this video I took while checking out Moonstone Beach. There is a perceived sense of being safe and there were plenty of times when the waves came up, then went back as expected. But waves can double up with a strong surge coming to shore which happened yesterday and knocked some people not even on the sandy part of the beach off their feet with water coming up to the parking area. Everyone was okay and a lot more alert.

Considered one of the world’s ten most beautiful non-tropical beaches, the Reynisfjara boasts not only black volcanic particles (bigger than sand, really), but also the famous ‘sneaker waves’ – so-called because they come much farther in than you think they will, and they have much more strength to draw you out into the North Atlantic than you expect. It was difficult to limit the number of photos to include here!
