My friend, Angela Michie, is pretty cool. I met her at Thanksgiving dinner in 2013. In the midst of the conversation she divulged that she likes to surf. While I don’t have guts like that, I can certainly respect anyone that does. We were talking one day via Facebook Messenger and she informed me that her weekend plans involved surfing at San Onofre State Beach…
Where?
She recommended that I check it out and I did just that. I grabbed my camera and headed south on I-5. San Onofre State Beach is at about the midway point between Los Angeles and San Diego. It’s a great beach and on this afternoon I was lucky enough to experience, first-hand, the development of a marine layer. Being from the east coast, we don’t see many, if any, marine layers at our beaches or lakes; nothing substantial anyway. On this afternoon, it took only a matter of minutes and the atmosphere when from bright and sunny to well, I’ll let the photographs show you. I was really impressed by the surfers who stayed despite the big change in visibility:
