Topanga's Shane Borland heads down south for some waves in Mexico.

The North Pacific is fairly slow as we move into the second half of February. The West Coast gets a shot of NW windswell midweek, which shows largest in Northern California. . Southern California gets a smaller share but again, winds are problematic.

From Surfrider LA :
After last weekend’s heavy rain, samples collected at Santa Monica beaches yielded elevated levels of enterococcus bacteria BUT under the EPA-recommended threshold. Unfortunately, samples collected at Tower 15 at Will Rogers beach by the drain showed exceedances in the levels of bacteria ABOVE the safety threshold. While the LA County Department of Health lifted the water quality warning this morning, care should still be taken to avoid surfing or swimming near creeks, outflow pipes or drains for another 1-2 days. .

On Tuesday, the Surfline cam got footage of this Ford F150 smashing into the guardrail near Neptune's Net.

The video above from KTLA says an eyewitness captured the footage (but he filmed the the Surfline cam's replay of it).

Mark it in your calendars, set all of your alarms. This is Frankie's Bikinis biggest warehouse sale ever.
