The swell was dropping, maybe 16 feet when I first arrived; before I left, the wind had picked up and the tide had maxed out. Mavericks is really a poor break for spectators. With the naked eye, the surfers look like dust specks. With a 3x zoom lens on your camera, they look like fleas. With a pair of binoculars, they might look like aphids. I'm not even sure if you can differentiate the rashguard colors. It was a gorgeous day at the beach today, without the hassle of traffic or major crowds.</p>
