Brundageba Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Mid September there will be a huge Pacific ocean swell with morning high tides. That would NOT be the time to schedule a week at the beach for a vacation. Dates: 12th - 18th. In that school is out, many families go to the beach for vacation. That would be a dangerous time for them to be there in the ocean playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
