We were down at Pegotty early evening yesterday...no surfers but heard that they are out in force earlier in the day. Big waves.

I was at the Lighthouse at noon today, watching them ride the surf in.
Besides catching the wave they have to avoid the ledge and boulders in the area. - Tom

Speaking of surfers & sharks, when I was stationed in San Pedro, CA in 1983-84 a surfer was practicing his show for an upcoming competition while his GF was photographing his form with a movie camera. - When the film was developed, he nearly had a stroke, as the GF had photographed a LARGE Great White right on the tail of his board.
Had he not ridden the board into very shallow water, he likely would have been taken off the board.
