Big Waves

Bill Martin Meteorologist

Today I was planning on discussing earthquakes and real estate, but for now all the buzz is about the big swell due this weekend, and the Mavericks contest planned for Sunday. As Bill Martin, Channel 2 weatherman and surfer points out "This weekends big surf is being generated from thousands of miles away. Oceanographers refer to this distance as a "fetch" We get some of the biggest waves in the world because we have one of the largest fetches in the world."



So, regarding coastal real estate, as I've said before, do consider rising sea levels, high tides, big swells before you make that offer, and in the meantime, may the best man win.
