A Visit to Carlsbad State Beach in Carlsbad at Terramar

A recent visit to the north end of Carlsbad State Beach prompted these photos. It's rather unique and interesting to photograph - looks like it will also be the site for my daughter's wedding in October. About 50 steps take you down the bluff to the sand next to Terramar, one of the rare residential areas in Carlsbad that is TRUE oceanfront - because of the coast road many homes are on the other side, still with great views but not actual waterfront.

A Winter Day in Carlsbad - Really?

Winter day at the Carlsbad beaches in California - Jeff Dowler

Yesterday was an amazing weather day here in Carlsbad. January 10, several weeks into winter, and it was 75 degrees. My kind of weather.

The reason for the heat is a mixed blessing. The Santa Anas from inland were kicking up, with some substantial gusts of wind in some communities (I heard close to 80 mph in some inland canyon areas), the haze from the previous day was gone, and it was a spectacular clear sunny day, with droves of people enjoying the summer-like day. The surfers were out in abundance - I captured some in these photos climbing down the high bluffs just south of Carlsbad Village heading for the waves.

The downside, of course, is the high forest fire threat these winds create because of the extreme heat, dryness, and the winds which can blow a fire out of control in seconds. These winds were the source of the disastrous fires in Northern California last year (at Big Sur and nearby) and the year before in San Diego. Hopefully there will be no problems.

Today it is even warmer - 77 degrees now and not even noon yet. Time to go enjoy the outdoors.
