A pre-sunrise drive and trek down to trestles was a bust – gulls were loitering lineups from Cottons all the way down to Lowers. I guess the swell just hadn’t hit yet because it was firing at Strands and Creek.

petroglyphs
We made an attempt to go down to Pine Trees to surf, but it was flat, cold and choppy, so we went adventuring instead. Hello creepy lava tube + ancient Hawaiian petroglyphs!
