El Porto Surfing with Offshore Winds

Surfing at El Porto on November 12, 2011.

Usually El Porto isn't very good, with early onshore winds and close-outs up and down the beach. However, on this day, a storm system came through that didn't drop much rain, and gave us some swell and offshore winds all day. I shot this in the morning when the tide was a little high, which is why the waves look a little "fat" at times. Later in the day with the lower tide the waves got better and I had a fun surf session.
