Just got back in, surf was too damn big at my hole friday night!!

I tried for an hour without a hit. Decided to try somewhere new that would possibly have a lil less surf. First cast i got a 21lb, 2nd cast 15lb, 3rd cast 13lb

Found myself a new hole. Got a bunch more around 10lbs. Is the fishing really that much better when the surf is this big? I always seem to do best when its under 4 ft.
