About a week before we got to Mui Ne, there was a big coast storm to the north. It caused some high surf at here. A few days later, there was a hurricane that struck the Philippines. It also caused a high surf at Mui Ne. Between the two of them, there was alot of beach erosion. It did make for some great body surfing, though. Reminded me of my teenage years on Ocean Beach at San Francisco, except you didn't need a wetsuit or treatment for hypothermia in Mui Ne .
