The Wedge Gets Beastly with Added Threat of Sharks and Dead Seals

The Wedge is scary without sharks and dead seals. It’s terrifying with them.

Fun times at Wedge last week. If you haven’t heard, Tuesday morning everyone was kicked out of the water after riding for nearly 2 hours once the lifeguards showed up – partly due to the extended water closure from the nearby shark attack over the weekend (so sketchy!), and partly to a dead seal (missing half its face) washing ashore and floating around in the middle of the lineup. Even so, there were still some great waves ridden in the hour and a half or so after sunrise and then again during the evening sesh. (It was officially re-opened mid-afternoon). This morning was pretty rad, 8-12+ ft, and everyone from Pat/Tanner Gudauskas and Rob Machado to local groms packing the lineup.
