Big Wednsday
Is there going to be a tsunami in Los Angeles? The swell model at Wetsand dictates a HUGE southwest push is coming next week.
Which means that they are forecasting 38 foot waves. To those people not familiar with wave sizes, these waves are measured Hawaiian style from thier backs. That means the 38 foot waves next Wednsday will have 70+foot faces! Get the jetskis ready!
For those who have not seen the movie Big Wednsday about the Malibu surfers in the 1960's (whose huge waves are shot in Waimea Bay, not in Malibu) it is an epic struggle of friendship throughout the years where the huge surf brings them all together. (It has Gary Busey for chrissake!) Will this be the year where they could have actually filmed the movie here in LA where it was set?! I think it might be... albeit up the coast a few miles from Malibu.
When the tsunami hits LA next Wednsday, thankfully one of my crazy friends has agreed that we can 'hide out' in his cabin up in Mammoth Mountain. If the tsunami gets all the way up there, then Katrina will seem like a joke. I'll bring my snowboard just in case there is snow. ;)
