Almost since we arrived, there have been carpenters building a boardwalk along the seawall in front of our building.
Here they are connecting it to the existing boardwalk right below our balcony. After reading up on things, it turns out that a winter storm in July raised the surf right up to the sea wall and a 200 meter stretch of this boardwalk was washed away. It's hard to imagine the surf that high, sloshing around right under the balcony and I'm kind of glad I wasn't here to see it (though I wouldn't mind seeing a photo... hmmm, here's
video of the surf during that storm at the shoreline about 2km south of our beach). I can see where that might do a bit of damage.
In other weather related news, there was an interesting little fog bank that rolled in north of us this afternoon, but it rolled back out before it got to our part of the beach.
