This photo was taken on October 5th, 2022, at Windansea Beach, San Diego, California.
This is a lucky capture without question. The surfer you see in the image was waiting for some friends to come in from breakers but the image looks as if he’s contemplating whether or not to go out. At least that’s how I see it. I think the latter tells a better story.
This image is a composite of 4 or 5 different images with waves breaking and impacting different areas of the coastline. I combined all of the images to get to the one you see. The effect makes the pacific look much more treacherous than it actually was.
