THE LURE OF THE BIG WAVES...... Where do they come from....why are we so enchanted and drawn to them? Unpredictable and exciting to have all our senses aroused by the sound, smell and touch of the wave....Art and Surf Culture go back 3000 years to Peru where the world's first historian's carved reliefs of surfers. Surf Art along our South Orange County Coast continues to integrate the ocean waves into everyday life .... documenting our lifestyle in our local motion attitude! Our local artists express the allure of the Big Wave action in numerous media forms ... paintings, photos, surfboards, sculpture, jewelry, wind chimes, carvings, graphic design, clothing and shoe design, music, et al..... Thank you for your visit along our South Orange County Coast Take back a little bit of our culture .... enjoy the ride! Visit us at the San Clemente Art Gallery

| Surfin' Local Motion San Clemente Painting by Evie Fernandez |

Just a thought.... Are changes is our Earth's magnetic field induced by our Ocean's Circulation?
This discussion has been going on for over 400 years, ..
does the movement of our Magnetosphere cause the solar wind charged particles that creates our sometime deadly waves?
hmmm, if this is the case, may be this explains why we get such Big Waves here in Southern California
after a major solar event or fluid flow at the core of our Earth.
As an observer of Big Waves along our South Orange County Coast, I love it when the locals can feel when the local motion is about to occur......... it's exciting and wondrous!
