Leo Carrillo State Beach
Tidal Wave Crashing Ashore, Leo Carrillo State Beach, Malibu, CaliforniaMy first visit to Leo Carrillo State Beach was a memorable one. I had never seen waves hit the shoreline with such ferocity before. I don't know how high this splash was but I would estimate that it was well over 50 feet! There were some crazy people down in the tide pools (the upper left rocky area) during high tide and I saw one wave fly over them. I'm not suicidal though so I stayed up on the coastal bluffs and studied the wave motion to make sure that I wouldn't get blasted. Good thing for me that from this vantage point, the waves flew outward.
Just around the corner, there was a major film production going on. At one point, the movie crew started generating a heavy amount of fake rain that ended up flying my direction and got my lens all wet. I wasn't too pleased with that. Besides, the waves I got to see were way more exciting than their fake rain. :-) Nature puts on an act too and it's 100% real.
I'm also proud to announce that I made it out of Malibu without being mistaken for paparazzi and didn't get beaten down by drunken members of the Matthew McConaughey Fan Club. Probably because I enjoyed his movie with Kate Hudson, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. Anyways...

Whoa are you saying MM was in the movie being filmed?
Love the wave action and as usual the colors are beautiful.
Recently there was a news story and YouTube clip of paparrazi getting the beat down in Malibu because they were trying to photograph MM shoot at a public beach while surfing. it was perfectly legal to do so but these kids were drunk and probably elitist like how a lot of affluent areas in So Cal are.
photograph him while surfing I meant.
