Nice shot Alfred. My wife and I were there last week and they had some great waves down on Point Loma. Surfers everywhere and great weather.

Great capture Mr. Al,
That water seems a tad on the cold side...:eek: I like the half crested wave...:D

Gus I saw people swimming earlier in the day with just a swimsuit !!! They do a two mile swim across a cover and just can't figure out how they fight hypothermia ...... water is cold !!!

Nice shot Al. Its not really all that cold. I spent two hours in the surf (shooting photos of course) just last week, in a wet suit of course. We have some pretty nice weather here (http://www.oceanlight.com/log/indian-summer-or-why-we-live-here.html), not as cold as you might think...
