Winter came early this year and the season is off to a good start. Light to moderate offshores accompanied with a solid drop in air temps and pumping swell created the classic blue green hues of winter at Ocean Beach. Itβs one of those days where I canβt stop staring at the waves, watching peak after peak, surfers maneuver the closeout sections and occasionally make it out of a barrel. The A-frames were groomed all day and peeling into the night, and as a cherry on top, the local dolphin pod appeared unexpectedly and ecstatically claimed the set of the day.
