SUMMARY Large rollers combined with a six foot high tide sent seas crashing into the rocky coastline this afternoon. The show spurred four photographers to capture the scenes. All the rocky inlets had large amonts of sea foam. Some rocky parts had creamy looking foam that dried about ten feet above sea level (see picture). Part of the trail north of the old tennis courts was marked off due to erosion adjacent to it.
