High surf and tide

With more king tides coinciding with high surf advisories, I worried about the pups on the beach. Although the water came up higher than usual, they had plenty of dry land above high tide line and were safe.

This mother has two pups, but they will likely sort themselves out.

The adults form a barrier to the highest surf line.

The Piedras Blancas, White Rocks, have been scoured by high waves. They are hardly white any more! The white comes from bird guano, which the waves have washed off.
