Storms Bring High Surf to Bodega Bay

The recent storms have brought some high surf to the Sonoma Coast this week. Even Doran Beach, which is usually calm, has giant, dramatic waves right now. When they break, you can feel the boom in your chest. At high tide this morning, the beach was almost completely covered with white, frothy water.

Although it's beautiful, sunny and mild right now, we're expecting more rain and wind this weekend. Oh boy! As you can imagine, stormy weather is a huge draw for tourists who come to witness the spectacular surf at the coast.

The Press Democrat ran a great story by Bob Norberg in today's paper headlined, "Surf is high and more storms on the way."
