Newport Photos from an August Swell
A nice swell just hit southern California. I have some photos posted. For afternoon in-water shots see August 4th #1 and August 4th #2, and for beach shots see August 5th #1 and August 5th #2. Sorry, but some of the beach shots on August 5th are backlit, I asked the sun to move around to a different position but it would not oblige. If you are in one of the photos and want a copy, email me and we’ll get it to you gratis.

I met both of those water photographers the following day, both good guys and I bet they have loaded up on some excellent photos. They were in the water Saturday while I was geared for the beach only, what was I thinking. As it turns out it was overcast Sunday when I got back in the water and the photos were not so hot. Won’t make that mistake again, water angle must take priority over beach angle at all times, doh.
