I think that sitting on the patio at JJs and sipping a cold beer would be an awesome way to watch the high tide. I think that I will take off work and do just that.

It might go up the first couple of steps to JJ's.....

Who ever can, take some pictures...please. I've seen go up the first couple steps at JJ's, and that just been in the past year or so. Now the first landing on the steps would be something to see.

Add some waves and watch out

I hate it when this work thing gets in the way. But if I read this right high tide will be at 14:19 so if I leave work at 10 am I could drive down catch high tide a beverage some tacos and be home by dinner time (late dinner) and just tell the wife I was playing golf with the boys?

You should... I'll buy ya that beverage... you can tell Michelle you were playing golf with the boys... but I think she'll know you were playing in the Gulf with the boys...

I think I will be leaving from the home about 9 driving down, there by noonish, eat some lunch (I have been craving some street tacos), get to JJ's about 1:30 have a beverage, leave for home about 3:30, that will put me home about 6-7 ish sounds like a great day.:cruisin:

we were down a few years ago at PDO - and had friends who had rented the beachfront unit #1 at the Mirador.
high tide was splashing the breakwall over and over again, we could not move back far enough to avoid the splashing as we sat on the patio. the water was up the circular concrete steps from the beach to the Mirador (where the shower was).
I wonder how far this tide will reach up the Mirador beach along PDO -
someone please post pics if you can!

Looks like we are catching a break on the tide as the wind looks like it won't be an issue.

Looks like no big deal over at Mirador Beach. Guess I did the sandbags for nothig !

it only covered the third step at JJ's, almost got the 4th step wet... but there was a decent turn out at JJ's and the water out in the bay sure did look pretty... it was a fun day...

The tide was the highest I've seen- I didn't see the mini-tsunami from the earthquake in Chile which was a much higher tide. The estuary at La Pinta was completely full and I'll post pictures tomorrow.

High Tide at Mirador Beach looking toward Mannys. The water did not get closer than 50 ft. to the condos and did not touch Manny's sea wall. Now we know what that level looks like with a relatively flat sea and light wind. I've got some sandbags I'll let go real cheap !!

I posted some pics on the "Pics" thread of the waves on Sunday in front of PDO. It's just so cool to watch the sea when it's like that..........the waves are mesmerizing..............
