O wait.

@cartoon
But how much did you feel it, did it freak you out or were you like "cool"? Were you @ home? school? Details LOL
We had on about 5 years ago and I was on a fucking bridge over the Fraser River on the Skytrain. Turns out I had a friend on the train ahead stopped at a station and she felt it. I felt nothing.

That is totally amusing watching it come in.
When go kayaking you can watch the water, currents, and read what the ocean is doing.
As far as I see (from your picture) a harsh tide, good strong current, a huge wake on the docks, maybe major (much bigger than most) wake on the land.
Waves like that shit are cool. Usually we just park (camp) @ island and wait. Wait for the good stuff, study the boomers, kelp even has good stuff after a storm: No rocks to split you open but yet some good wave action.
From where you are I think you have nothing to worry about.---ever!!!!

That is a beautiful picture!!!!!!!
Waves can look calm from far out but their can be quite a wake after.
Shit , I got my right and left confused (girl thang, thought you meant the left) . I guess the one thing we can agree upon is that pictures mean shit, I have several pictures, which don't look as bad as they are (waves stuff). You can see a bit but it's hard to tell. The Ocean is hard to capture.
I have had beer tonight plus some Crone Royal.
IMO not reading tonight
