Californian wimps are worried about twelve foot waves?
The shores of Godless Scotland and Ireland are currently being gently washed by waves FOUR TIMES THAT HEIGHT!
(The different colors represent different wave heights: black is the highest at 48ft above a calm sea level and blue the lowest at two feet
.)
My boys are agitating to be allowed to go up there for some winter surfing, but unfortunately by the time we drove up there, it would probably have calmed down and the wind's too strong to take the helicopter.
