I managed to get a few shots at the Rip Curl Pro Search surfing contest at Ocean Beach this morning. The contest period is halfway done, with 6 days remaining.

Sunken ship visible at Ocean Beach
Thanks to a tip from Steve, I headed down to Ocean Beach to check out reports of an 1800′s shipwreck being visible at low tide. Back in 1878, a clipper ship broke free from its anchor and ran aground on the beach right at the end of Noriega Street. Sure enough, there it was, although a little less glamorous than what I was expecting. The timbers of the ship can be seen peeking out of the sand.
Check out the SFGate article for more info. Check the Ocean Beach Bulletin for a few more photos.
UPDATE 05/20/11: Today, nearly the full length of the ship was visible. I arrived a bit after low tide and the ship was starting to be covered back up by the incoming water.

A couple other photos from this morning
While out at the beach watching the marathon, I found a few other things to photograph. This totem pole is looking out over Ocean Beach through the fog and seems to be saying “brrr it’s cold here.”
I really liked this coin operated telescope that seemed to be looking out to the other side of the ocean.

Kitesurfing at Ocean Beach
The last couple days have been really windy, with gusts approaching 30mph. It’s normally the bay that gets windy but today the ocean was the place to be. 8 kitesurfers were braving the cold air and water.

Sunset and surf at Ocean Beach
After nearly a whole week of mostly unsurfable conditions, the surfers were back at Ocean Beach today getting in a few rides. It was a little too dark for getting any action shots, but I was able to get some cool photos of the sunset.

After days of rain, the skies finally started to clear. Here’s a shot of Ocean Beach at sunset with the Cliff House in the distance.

Ocean Beach totally closed out
My first stop this morning was at the Cliff House at Ocean Beach. The swell had come up nicely overnight and the rain had been replaced with sunshine. From the overlook, I could see tons of big waves but not a single surfer. All the waves were closed out. Same situation farther down the beach at Sloat.

Morning Surf Session at OB
Today was the last sunshine the Bay Area is going to see for several days and I grabbed a few shots of some surfers making the most of it.

Sunny and warm, but small waves.
The waves were far from epic today, but it was a beautiful day at the beach anyway.
