Sunset
I also live on the west coast in sunny long beach, ca and do a lot of beach camping and always have my camera. I have only been shooting intensely for a little more then year but have found with shooting both surfers and the ocean to try and have the sun to one side or the other of the subject you are trying to get a photo of or with the sun at your back but normally out here it would have to be early in the day with the ocean in the background. I personally like to shoot the ocean at sunset cause if there is a cool haze or clouds in the sky the colors just pop off and create cool effects. Also there is a chance you can catch catalina in the background shooting out of Huntington Beach or Bolsa Chica.
I have attached two of my better shots taken, one at Huntington Beach of a surfer last August and a sunset shot taken last November at Bolsa Chica State Beach. Both of them are the pure image with no modification.
