As the waves grew bigger this winter, so did the level of chatter among the surfers who ride them and have been observing larger and more powerful swells at spots like Mavericks. A reason this happening? Climate change.

The Boardwalk, a beach-y bar in Penn Quarter with arcade games and carnival-inspired fare, is expanding to a fitting location by the water. Better Hospitality Group (BHG), which also operates Shaw rooftop bars Takoda and Cortez, has signed a lease for a huge 10,000 square-foot indoor/outdoor space at the Wharf (it’s taking over a former yoga studio and boat supply shop). Boardwalk Bar & Arcade is slated to open by the end of this year.

The problem with a couple months straight of North Pacific swell overdrive is just that so many crazy sessions, epic stories, unforgettable waves, bad wipeouts, enraged partners, confused bosses…the whole thing becomes kind of a crazed blur. One, oversized lump of collective surf memory. Which is why pulling one strand out of the narrative in this case, almost two months of very good to epic Maverick’s can help frame the whole event and give it context in the broader scope of the surfing universe.
