The ocean has been providing us with weekend after weekend of waves.
Thank you universe!!

We drove to the regular beach and were just floored by how messy and massive it was. I've never seen it like that before. Drove around a little and settled on some decent waves, it was beautiful with the sun coming through. Add a quick hail storm and a full moon, and this made for a pretty insane day!

Beautiful weather plus a decent forecast equals crowds. Whenever I see cars parked up the hill on the road before even reaching the parking lot, it's usually bad news and immediately stressful vibes. Luckily those vibes turn around once you actually walk down to the ocean. Nothing was happening when we arrived, so a nice leisurely stroll on the beach was in order. Killing time like that means you're sure to see a beautiful sunset!

Super great day with good company and good weather! Classic overly-crowded day at one of the breaks, but here's some highlights from the day.

Saturday's weather was out of this world. I was basically sitting on the beach in a sweater, sometimes just a t-shirt. Made so many doggo friends that day! Sunday's forecast was looking great but ended up being not.. quite... there...
anywho. A super fun weekend either way!

Today was super fun even though I got a tad wet! I guess waterproof shells (that aren't GoreTex) can only handle so much rain. Layers saved me.
The forecast looked great and honestly the waves looked amazing. I had to put my camera away after about an hour due to the weather, but I still got some fun pics and played around with some more video shots. A change of clothes and a beer makes everything better in the end :)

A fun looking forecast was on its way through, needless to say the weekend crowd got the best of it. From what I saw (and heard), the waves in general were incredible.
It looks like a lot of fun was had either way, and I
definitely went home with my camera a happy lady!
Now, I don't want to saturate my blog with hundreds of pictures, and somehow I managed to post less than 40 of the 900 pictures I took. If you knew you were surfing on a certain day, but don't see your photo, please reach out! I'm really only posting my personal favourites :)

Yaaaaaasssss!! This looked too good NOT to come out mid-week!
Really excited that the forecast is shaping up for the winter. No more lulls, k?

We accidentally slept in until noon this day. We were in no rush to get anywhere in the first place, but it's just daunting this time of year to wake up and know it's gonna be dark in 4 hours again. Anyways, the waves looked like a lot of fun, and I adventured to the waterfalls when there was a lull. The colours of the sunset later on, reflecting on the water, were amazing. It eventually got too dark to shoot, but I did get some fun shots.

If you have the time to drive a little further to check out a new place, I'd say do it. My favourite spots will never get old, but there's something pretty magical about getting to know a new break and how it behaves. So much excite!
