A storm blew in over the weekend. After the rain headed inland, I went out to the pier to see the coast...preferably somewhere with railings, because the wind was still dangerously strong.

A large ocean wave breaking as it moves past a jetty. palm trees and blue sky are visible in the distance.

Waves break under a pier. Groups of people are variously watching, fishing, or standing at food counters.
A wave breaks just in front of a pier with a building and staircase on it. A beach is visible in the distance with taller buildings behind it. At least two people are standing at the stairs watching the waves come in.

Waves breaking over the end of a jetty across the way.

Fun fact: I discovered that if the wind is strong enough, it can blow a camera neck strap up and completely off of your head.

Not so fun fact: It was also blowing the tethered lens cap on directly into my face.

A line of rocks in the ocean, with a metal pole and a number 3 in it, and white spray bursting around it.

I found it kind of amusing that the wind was constant enough to keep this sign almost horizontal the entire time.

Sign on a post being blown horizontally. Beyond the railing, waves break in front of a jetty.

Heerman's gull. They're not as common here as western gulls, but I do see them occasionally. This one didn't feel like trying to fly in the wind, which was blowing other seagulls sideways. And in some cases backward.
