For me, without question, this is my favorite surf spot on planet earth. IMO This place is the premiere surfcasting location. When I die I want my ashes spread here off that bluff. (During a north wind so it doesn't hit you in the face)
regarding eyes:
last spring I was doing the all nighter solo thing and was making the walk from Metcalf’s to wasque. It was black and really foggy. I could barely see more then 30' I am fishing plugs and fishing had slowed but I had a couple decent fish earlier that night. While fishing I notice what looks like a dead guy in graylite waders rolling in the surf. His hand was flopping back and forth rolling with the waves in the wash almost beckoning me to come over. It was an eerie sight at night in the fog with just the sound of the waves. I said to myself.... I really don't want to see this and just then I get a powerful hit! Fighting the fish the damn thing ran down the beach in the direction of the dead guy. Before I knew it I was straddling a huge dead seal that was all bleached out and bloated. I moved down the beach and the fish went the other way back towards the seal. No matter what I did I could not keep away from this flopping dead animal. Eventually I landed the bass (37#) and went home.
It really did look like a big fat dead surfcaster. (the seal not the bass)
