some pics taken this morning. You can see the sun just coming up from the cold front that pushed offshore this morning. Pic 2 was taken just before sunrise. Pic 3 was taken from a built-up pile of sand that the Army Corp. of Engnineers has made while working on a jetty project at one of our breaks. Pic 4 same location, with a solid head high beauty rolling in. Winds howling out of the SW later in the morning turning more west. Could only imagine the mayhem going on the west end of Lake Erie and Ontario right now. Hope somebody got on it and tells about it.

god i hate being landlocked

didn't get on it again this pm, but went for a walk down on the beach with my wife and caught a few more pics. Beautiful winter sunset reflecting off the spray from the west winds, which were still howling with the swell maintaining some decent size. Glad you guys scored at Bluffers today! Anyone get out on Erie?

I got out in Oshawa today, about 40 km E of Toronto. The waves were huge! This morning at 11 the pier was disappearing and reappearing. In the early afternoon the waves were still massive. What I thought was a fisherman fallen off the pier turned out to be a fellow surfer. I got to see him make a couple of nice rides. He must have thought I was whacked for staring at him in awe for 10 minutes as he struggled against the strong current. What he probably didn't know was that he is the first person I have ever seen surfing a lake. I caught up with him for a minute before he got in his car, he was riding a red and white striped 8 footer.

I was in for a couple of hours and stayed toasty warm. There was a tree bodysurfing beside me in the lake today until I dragged it back to shore.

Looked stormy as heck there. Glad to see someone got out at that spot. Thanks for posting those photos.
