The Inertia

This is the South Bay. This stretch of beach is known for its million-dollar homes, beautiful people, beach volleyball and surfing. The South Bay consists of fickle surf spots. A slight change in the swell or wind direction can bring perfection or chaos. On any given big swell, one beach may be unruly and closed out while a break less than a mile away can produce a surfer’s dream.

As surfers, we are attracted to these waves during this time of year, and the winter of 2015-2016 was special – an El Niño winter. I spent November through March… Chasing El Niño.
