Zuma Beach, California. A day every surfer and photographer dream of, minus the stand up barrels. This was a perfect 90-degree day with howling offshore winds and blue-green water. You’d be forgiven if you thought you were in Mexico as this weather definitely came a bit early. A combo swell hitting up and down the coast, this day is still talked about and, as the images show, many missed out.
