Ebb and Flow, Point Lobos 4966
There is a point south of Point Lobos on the Big Sur coastline where waves build offshore and come crashing in. That is not unusual. What is somewhat unique is that the waves continue up a shelf and then all that was collected, flows back out to the ocean. I've seen this three times, and was fortunately enough to be there on a day when the surf was particularly high, and I caught this outflow as it came roaring back.
In 2012, I saw two ... not-too-intelligent humans trying to make their way down to the base. Fortunately for them, their IQs reached equilibrium (zero plus one) and they scampered back up. You cannot imagine the force of this water and the eddies that form around the base rocks. It is beyond beautiful but must always be treated with respect.
This shot was taken while I was up a cliff about 500 feet. The Pacific coast's beauty is unparalleled along this 100 mile stretch.
