Surreal Salt Creek - Sept. 2020

Salt Creek on a surreal morning on September 9, 2020 with fire in the sky. Smoke drifting over most of Southern California from local and Northern California fires Somewhat eerie feeling in the water, but decent southern hemisphere swells at 3 to 5 feet (but with long 10-15 minute lulls). No music on this video, just some experimental visuals trying to recreate that 60s surf movie solarization look. Overlook shots courtesy of Surfline.

South hemi finally showed some consistency today (September 30, 2025) at Salt Creek, 4 to 5 ft, with some sets going to about 7 or so. Early morning offshore, felt like fall, then moved to light onshore and summer returned later in the morning. In the water for about 3 hours. I will add some more, but here is the Surfline video of one early set. At the beginning of the clip, I am the one dropping down in the upper right corner.
