Ocean magic

Torrey Pines State beach at night

On this pretty evening, we drove out to Torrey Pines State Beach, on the hunt for some special waves.

The storm must have dispersed and diluted the little Lingulodinium polyedrum. Check out how strong the glow is in this surfer video by Loghan Call, filmed the week before! (There's a 15 second commercial before the video. But hang tight because it's worth the wait!)
