This is a cool article from the new york times:

Surf experts and weather officials have forecast a swell — churned by North Pacific storms — that may rival those of 1969, considered a seminal year in surfing the North Shore, where images of surfers flying down towering waves helped bring the sport into the mainstream and into the perennial realm of cool.

Anyone down there ever surf anything similar to that? Does anything like that ever hit CR?

Just wondering if there are other breaks that will work with this NW swell, that may be more mellow for when this macker hits?? Like the north side of Playa Garza, north side of Playa Buena Vista

It will be really interesting to see how this swell with this period hits here. Hoping for good tubos in Guiones... Last Sunday was incredible here & if it can even come close we'll call it a big win
