I was able to shoot for an hour (3-4pm) at Black's and the conditions were really good but not as big as Surfline hyped it up to be. I looked at Sunset Cliff's and it was definitely bigger and there were some serious bombs rolling through. Tough lighting as one had to shoot into the sun so I took a gamble and trekked (not looking forward to the hike) to Black's. I posted at the bottom of the driveway and shot at South Peak for an hour and had a blast. I could hear the guys screaming in the lineup as the bombs came thru and folks were pushing into waves. It was way to big for me and will probably go out for a surf on Sunday as the swell drops.

Love that first shot!

I'm headed out in about an hour or so. I'll head over to La Jolla Cove and then, perhaps, work my way down to Sunset Cliffs.

I'm hoping my 70-200 f/2.8 and a 2X will give me enough reach.

I went to La Jolla Cove and there was no one out. Then again, it was high tide. About a mile south, though, there were pretty good waves and plenty of surfers.

Tourmaline was breaking pretty good, and there were a lot of people out.

PB was choppy, and they weren't letting people in the water in Ocean Beach. Sunset Cliffs was breaking nicely.

The surf, this morning at least, was nowhere as high as they'd predicted...

Beautiful shots.
I used to shoot from the water there, a scary place when it gets big.
