The Santa Ana winds are usually welcomed by California surfers as they bring offshore winds to the coast and warmer air temperatures- matched up with the mix of swells hitting rolling in right now, it’s making for some pretty nice surf conditions. There are a bunch of folks scoring waves, while thousands of others are fleeing their homes in Los Angeles and San Diego counties due to the massive wildfires that are only being fueled by those Santa Ana winds. East Coast Wahine Championships founder, Tammy Zybura, who lives in Del Mar, California sent me an email this morning letting everyone know she and her husband Matt are doing fine…for now, but were told to stay home from work and off the highways. Let’s hope these fires get contained soon. The air pollution from the smoke is downright awful. Check out this photo Tammy sent of surf and smoke in Del Mar.
