Strong winds, choppy waves at Ocean Beach in San Francisco

As soon as we joined his live picture, we saw the hat fly off, so we'll make sure he gets another one. Take a look at your screen now. Christian Captain is still out in it. Let's listen in here. Sounds like he found someone else who's out in this wild west. What's it like trying to run through all this? It's refreshing. Keeps you cool. It's perfect. So for you, this is refreshing. No, this is excellent. I need to keep going. Okay, what's your name? Veikko. And how do you spell that? Veikko. V-E-I-K-K-O. And what's your last name, Veikko? Väyrynen. How do you spell that? V-A with the dots, Y-R-Y-N-E-N. All right, who's is this? Channel 2. Veikko, enjoy your run. I do. You heard that. Veikko's saying that for him, this is invigorating. He said he wanted to get going because it is so windy, Garcia. He wants to try to get out there. It is this is about as windy as I've experienced in San Francisco. There was one other time when I was down by the Embarcadero's and we were actually seeing windows getting popped out. This is absolutely on comparison with that. I can feel it just pushing pushing me here. Wind predominantly kind of pushing westward. Martin, my partner in crime out here, photojournalist extraordinaire, is actually leaning up against the live truck to brace himself because the wind is so strong. And it is, you know, remember, he's going to be top heavy because he has that camera on his shoulder and it is just so windy out here, Garcia. If we could try to give you that shot again, we showed you What that shot looked like looking down over the Sutro Baths. We're going to go ahead and give you a shot of what it looks like looking kind of down Ocean Beach. Guys, see, we were out here yesterday, and the waves were, what I said was more organized. They were definitely big waves, and they don't look as big right now, but that's just because everything is just so choppy out here right now. We also had a chance to go by Crissy Field. So we went by Crissy Field. We were there yesterday watching that beach erosion. We can see that the water is really turbulent. In the bay as well. We're hoping to go back there a little later on. High tide coming at 1249. When we were there late yesterday morning, early afternoon, the beach was actually getting eroded away. There was so much activity there that the water had come up basically to the retaining wall. So we're hoping to head back there a little bit later on today to just see what conditions look like there. And again, One of the reasons that we went yesterday is so we can make a comparison from yesterday to today. We're going to head back to Pier 14 as well. That's one of those areas in the city along the Embarcadero where it's rather low-lying. And if there is a surge, if it does flood, that's one of the first areas where we actually see some of that bay water coming up onto the sidewalk and then sometimes even out into the roadway in the Embarcadero. Garcia, I was talking with Martin a minute ago and I was saying, The way I would categorize this is moderate rain but boy this wind especially here at the coast that seems to be the major story at least right here. Of course as you get inland we're going to see some of that wind diminish a little bit but here at the coast Martin is holding on for dear life and I'm bracing against the wind.
