SENTINEL VIDEO: Capitola cleans up

January 5th, 2008 · 16 Comments

A day after being pounded by Friday’s storm, and after being lashed by high surf at high tide Saturday morning, streets in the Capitola village were closed, roads in mid-County were unpassable, and a few brave souls got out in the churning surf. (Video by Tom Moore)

    I lived in SC for 11 years, I don’t ever recall Capitola looking like that. Wow! And yes, I miss that place. Its gotta be one of the best surfing towns in the world.

    We walk the Esplanade almost daily - my hat is off to the guys cleaning up the mess. They were out there in the biting winds scraping up the mess as quickly as possible, even before the crack of dawn. This is the time of year I do NOT envy the city maintenance workers!

    The Sentinal is an easy way to keep informed with whats new in Santa Cruz, since moving away I check the sentinal frequently.

    Oh yes, I love this kind of weather in Santa Cruz. I could almost smell the pure claen ocean air from watching the video! I miss it so much….

    I live in Colorado and visit Capitola, Santa Cruz often to visit family… Awesome waves, all your storms are bringing us winds, rain and snow, we too were without power last night for awhile.

    Reminds me of 1997, by the way nice take off on the wave ! Looks like fun on the sand bars.

    Wow, crazyness. Capitola took a pounding. Its hard to believe that in a few months the village will accomodate thousands of summer time tourists. The guys in the saftey-yellow rain gear deserve some praise. See you at Zelda’s.
