Swell: 2ft Surf: 2-3 Ft at start of dive at end surf pounding with the occassiional 7 ft boomer. swell mostly from the west.
Fairly easy entry under an overcast sky with the sun still well up. Surfaced well after dark to large swells and booming waves. The Exit was not going to be pretty. We just had to wait a while to time it out as best we could in the dark. Exited utilizing the monestary crawl technique over the rocks with no injuries. The trail is washed out pretty good and was fun comming up as our equipment made mud causing slippery footing on the cliff face. I do not recommend diving here for now until the trail down is improved. Usual suspects, small lobsters for practicing the grab technique - still need lots of work there before Satruday morning. All and all a good dive. See you at the Coastal Cleanup. I am going to Laguna diving in it today.
