Photos submitted by Lee Silveira

was 'forced to evacuate south...'accidently' ran into some
surf...epic to say the least...the cove(ship channel) was the best it
has ever been...surfed 3 hours in the cove until arms became jelly...it was
huge !...surfed the next day over across the channel...mexico side...boca
chica.,..was 15 ft. plus !...less than 10 people out !
no current...no wind.....just big bombs rolling through...caught a
bunch...and took a few on the head too....surfed five hours...got lucky too
since i got a boat ride over and back....did not have to paddle the channel.
