Agree, this was the first BI trip that Paulie and Bryan didn't try and throw me and my pink danny over the bluff at Black Rock
A lot of beach erosion and debris so definitely be careful on the bluffs. There's a lot of clay (oops, sorry Bryan) a lot of mud just waiting to come crashing down. We spent the time to scout paths in advance during daylight and I'm glad we did.
Water clarity was a concern early on but it made dramatic improvements over the first 24 hours we were there. With this upcoming storm I'd expect things to deteriorate again but probably be clearing by the weekend.
While there was no bait and no fish the water is still warm and the conditions were great out of the wind. Some very fishy water, especially Saturday night which was just incredible surf. I'd think odds this weekend would be similar to the last, not great with a slim chance at epic.
Note: Just in case bring some bourbon
