Nice set - I really like the first image you selected though all are
quite good. Nothing like the power of water...
I don't have any photographic techniques for shooting surf, but if I was
going to try I'd go for a faster shutter speed, tripod mount the camera
and take a mess of photos of the crashing waves. Then selectively blend
the shots to blur (via multiple averaged exposures) the places that
looked better motion blurred and keep sharp the stuff that looks best
frozen. I never tried this technique with surf but I have with little
creeks and waterfalls and it works.

Sunday afternoon, my friend Nicole and I spent some time playing with
cameras down at Garrapata state park (just south of point lobos).
With the weather we've been having the surf was active to the point of
being scenic. I got a few decent shots, this may be the best:

When I got home and started trying to process the photos I realized
that while I might have everything exposed reasonably, processing them
so that you can actually see the details is quite a challenge.
Has anyone developed any techniques or tricks for photographing and
processing active surf, particularly sea foam with a cloudy sky in the
background?
I suspect that I may have been a bit too conservative in terms of ISO,
that a bit more shutter speed might have better preserved some of the
details.
For those interested in the rest of the set:
