Joined a reasonable size crew at Longy around midday for what turned out to be a fun, if lully, sesh. Mostly it was in the waist high range like this morning, but every now and then we’d get a more substantial set. I’d put that down to the 10 sec average period. Even the old guy got a few of the bigger ones. That wind was damn chilly though!
Shooting from the water in beach breaks is not always that productive. Although I had the Canon PowerShot D10 on board, I only got a couple vaguely worthwhile shots to mark the occasion. The D10 produces a clean image and is pretty straightforward to use. I’d like it to have a burst mode and a better zoom range would be good as well. I found shutter lag and shot to shot processing times made getting more than a couple shots in the few seconds a beachbreak wave lasts something of a challenge.
