Epic South Swell Hit's California...well sort of.

Well...Southern California had it's first REAL south swell of the summer last week. Wouldn't you know that after nearly two weeks of bluebird conditions, this Southern hemi brought along a grey California eddy front with it. Actually, this kind of weather has seemed to be rather typical of larger south swells in southern California for many that I remember. Yet, every year I seem to forget a few days before they actually hit. In any case, the swell did arrive as scheduled and I was able to find a few pockets of magic here and there. Luckily the sun decided to pop out down in San Diego for a few brief moments allowing for some color imagery. Surfermag.com and ESPN.com picked up a few images for their coverage and now I am back in the office working on images from a recent trip down south. The land where the souths really hit.
