Is there a better place to live than coastal Southern California?\u00a0 Awesome weather every single day, tasty waves, a cool buzz…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On Wednesday, August 27th, I set my alarm clock for 5 a.m.\u00a0 I was going to get up early, head to Newport Beach, and photograph the huge waves which would impact the south-facing beaches, due to former Hurricane Marie.\u00a0 Marie had reached Category 5 status off of Mexico’s west coast a few days prior.\u00a0 I had the day off from work.\u00a0 The problem, though —- it was 1 a.m. when I set the alarm.\u00a0 I turned the alarm off at 5 a.m., slept a lot more, and headed to Malibu instead.\u00a0 The waves at Malibu, though about half of the size as those as Newport’s “Wedge,” were still quite sizable, due to the massive southerly swell.\u00a0 I sat on a cliff up above La Piedra Beach and shot some surfers and swells, and then headed east to Malibu Lagoon and Surfrider Beach.\u00a0 Surfers were crowded out near the breakers, and plenty of sun worshipers and wave watchers were gathered on the sand.\u00a0 It was a perfect day to have the camera and the long lens at the beach!<\/p>\n

Are these images gnarly or what, dude?<\/p>\n
