Unusual post-christmas swell has me buggin'

Pretty sure its December 7th, and there is a lot of swell around. It doesn't look like its gonna get any smaller for at least another 5 days either. What could be different from any other Summer? Is it Global Warming? An increase in earthquakes? More people Jetty jumping at Horseshoe Bay jetty? Whatever it is, I'm not wasting a second more on land.

Not much too look at, but it gives you an idea of the stupid summer swell size sucker.
