The waves have been small but fun at Santa Catalina point these days, and the crowd, they say, has been a big problem.

There are about 400 entrants for the event, including SUPs, longboarders, shortboarders, racers making getting a wave a difficult task.

However, the water level has been quite good. Below are some tests.
