Storms Create Sandbars (and Coffee-Colored Waves) Near River Mouths

"The geologists are stoked, but so are the surfers. Surfers love torrential rain because the floodlike runoff creates big sandbars, which create really good waves. On Jan. 9, before the storm was even half over, a handful of surfers, including professionals like Nat Young, were surfing the perfectly formed, coffee-colored waves at the San Lorenzo River’s mouth." - excerpt from article in Monterey Herald.
