Our Coast

Helaine and I went out to the coast for a couple of days. We camped at Mora, then did a couple of day hikes for us.

Monday 29 of Sept was so frickin hot, the car said 89 degrees in the shade. Amazing for the end of Sept, a bit much for a couple of old farts trying to hike. We hiked to Hole in the wall, which is north from Rialto beach. It was flat but the tide was in, we had alot of log hoppin and scrambiling.

The sunset was awesome, 7:00 at night warm winds blowing off shore. I was fine till I saw a lone surfer enjoying evening glass off, then I wished I had my boat.

Tuesday, we hiked down to Third beach. To check out the surf and camping there, small beach at high tide, would be a nice overnight spot tho. The weather had changed, cold windy a nice change from the heat the day before.

The hike was kinda steep for us, not too bad. Helaine did awesome, we would of died if we had done it the day before.


Above is a camp spot on Third beach, not alot of room at high tide.

Destruction Island and some very nice surf, I'm guessing 8'+ nice peaks. Why don't we go there more???






Above were all Third beach. Below our hike to Hole in the wall.



Awesome evening, sunset and surf.





Pounding shore break both days. Timing would be critical to get in right side up...
