Wild, Unruly Surf and Swell-Sheltered Curls
El Porto's erratic, huge waves' height clocked in at "if you have to ask how big these waves are, you shouldn't go out"...
...while a well-known South Bay proving ground for surfers was also large, but not as potentially life-threatening...
...and this zone proved to be "just right" for this surfer shooting the curl.
More photos from today may be posted on the blog soon; I am submitting the best of the beastly barrel shots to media outlets. Links will be provided to off-site published shots!
