Big Waves!33 viewsThe Red Hills Visitor Center got drenched by a massive summer storm on Tuesday afternoon, August 9th. For the first time in three years, the Javelina Wash was running wet and wild. From trough to crest, these waves were about three feet high. In narrower spots, the wash got as much as five to six feet deep.
