I used to cross it on my motorcycle...some days...wind warnings...had to loop around...cost 20 minutes.

But better to listen to the warnings...

It was gusting over 30mph that night. The tripod was useless.

Well done! There are usually wind surfers out there too!


I was on the south side. Most of the wind surfer people use the north end. There was almost too much wind (gusts at 30+ mph) to surf carefully.

Yeah, that places always catches a lot of water wind...That's a shark highway right there as well...a large inlet.

I've seen some huge hammerheads in that area. We used to boat over and swim when I was a younger foolish man.

There were some people fishing for sharks. Used a 30 inch bonita for bait. Said that black tips were spawning in the bay. But too windy for them

I stropped all that years ago once I realized how precarious the ocean fish pop's have become.
