Three miles off Trinidad, California.

Photographer states :: In addition to wind and rain, floods and falling trees, we get some nice big waves here on the north coast. These 15-foot swells are stacked all the way out to the horizon. The swell maxed out this morning at 20 feet. Bigger waves loom offshore, though; the 600-mile buoy was showing 36 feet this morning.
