Dale Phelps watched some big waves just north of Gualala. Dale wrote, "We took this shot off our front deck on Jan. 21. The splashes were getting so high that is was unnerving to step up to the railing for a clean shot. It was hard to tear ourselves away from watching all day.”

People were saying they hadn't ever seen waves as big as they were seeing on the 21st. It's calm now, as our sunny break continues. Next storm is due in late Wednesday.

Thanks to Dale for allowing me to share her photo with you here.
