Additional Information
North/North west swell comes in and wraps around heavily seal populated (both Navy and water variety) island and peels prefect left lines into small bay. Onshore winds make this spot off shore and sub tides seem to work best. US NAvy training area with spent casings on rocky beach and firing range close by. Triple black diamonds!!!

- Anyone willing to (privately) share additional information/GPS coordinates on waves around san clemente island? I fish a fair amount out there with my sons, and would like to do some quiet exploration.
Thank you.

I call BS - You did NOT get punched by a Navy SeAL! Granted I wasn't their, but If you knew anything about them or the requirements for selection, then you would never even think of something so idiotic. Does it sound cool or believable when you tell your freinds or do they smell your BS too? The truth is that most guys spend a minimum of two years of active duty before they can even apply to the list, which you need a recommendation from a C.O. That's Commanding Officer, dork! to even get on the waiting list. My point is that it takes a LOT to become a Navy SeAL, more than your imagination can grasp, obviously. And your telling us they'de throw it all away and ask for a nice "Court Marshall" and a "Dishonorable Discharge" just so they can get even for you spraying them on their break. I'm sure they get to have way more fun than that!

suicidal spongehumper - dude, thanks for giving us a brief course on what it takes to become a SEAL. FYI, nobody cares.
Why?
Because swabbies are dorks. And boogieboarding swabs are bigger dorks. And just because you're a SEAL only means you "drank the Kool-Aid". You probably think W is a great hero.
