A Perfect Winter Day

December 9th 2023 was the best day of surf we've seen so far this Winter. Light offshores all day, fun-size swell, and a hazy golden sunset. But, when the waves up in Southern California, it's no secret. After spending all day in the water, I swam out at Swamis, the longboard thunder-dome, with my camera for sunset to capture the energy in the water. Beauty, chaos, racing the light for a limited supply of set waves as the sun set... It's all part of the dance.
