Changing tidal surges can create some very dramatic waves at this amazing beach. This beach has a jetty on the south end. The waves bounce off the jetty creating a secondary wave. This secondary wave combines with the next wave and multiplies its power and intensity. With the up coming tide, the waves change in a big way. The rising tide creates a third wave as the water rushes down off the beach. This is called backwash. This backwash slams into the on coming waves. Complete Chaos!

This is one of the few spots to catch the sun in the wave. And it's only for 4 months out of the year. Thanks

Awesome image - I may be wrong, but I assume from your commentary that this consists of multiple shots merged together. Congratulations.

No, this is one shot. This has 3 waves all converging at one time. This is the only beach in So Cal this gets this dramatic. Thanks for the comment and have a great day.

Wonderful! This certainly sticks out from the rest of the pictures of waves that I've seen. Perhaps another name for this photo would be "Fire and Ice" ?

Whoa. This is just wow. I cannot even imagine how you begin to get this shot. I assume your camera is waterproof? Is it one of those gopro ones? I am just... in awe right now. I hope you win many contests with this shot - great job!

How do you take these ridiculously amazing shots? Do you actually ride the wave with a camera or do you use a long lens? It looks like you ride the wave with a camera in hand with water proof casing. These are jaw dropping bro. Amazing work.
