Wildlife is always incredible to encounter — but when the ocean conditions are IMMACULATE too? A diabolical duo for unforgettable encounters.

We found SO many dolphins today in stellar, glassy‑clear conditions! A very surfy pod of long‑beaked common dolphins, a launch‑happy pod of shorties, and even a drive‑by from a pod of coastal bottlenose about a mile off the point of La Jolla.
