Mar de Fondo

If you follow the link and put the wave energy forecast map in motion you'll see the effect we know as mar de fondo hit our coast this coming Sunday with a second episode shortly thereafter. While it looks neat on the map and the surfers will be thrilled, coastal residents are at risk of losing life and property as the powerful massive waves can cause severe coastal erosion. I don't ever recall a year with so many incidents of the mar de fondo effect. We seem to have had one right after the other pretty much every month.
