Can't be real surely.

The thing that looks most unnatural is the fact that all waves are the same size and looks like coming in sets of 30 or more all of the way to horizon and the same size also.

Just imagine for one second though coming across this if it was real and nobody was out what you would be doing....... Sleep, catch one wave, breakfast, rest, catch one wave, lunch, rest, catch one wave. You'd be done with one of these I reckon.

There's definite cloning in the white wash of waves 5 and 9.

In my humble opinion;
The first 5 to 6 waves are probably real, but the rest are photo shop. But your ruler on the screen, and you will ruler edge lines stacked to the horizon, but the first few waves have that natural straight, but flowing lip lines....

But if it was real, it would be called "Dreamlands".

Doesn't Peru have the big long left? Not sure about a big long right???

If solitude and risk are your thing, organise to buy a Paris to Dakar 4WD, and cruise the west coast of Namibia, and maybe Angola if you have a death wish. Miles and miles of sand and beach.... and a few points thrown in....

I reckon you're right about the 1st five being a line up from 'somewhere'. They aren't at this place though, looks like Indo colours to me. Actually the headland on the right looks a little like Ulu's looking from Temples. The water colour also looks like Indo.

It's meant to be a fantasy, and it is!

P.S the long left in Peru is Chicama.

I can vouch for Angola, Caboledo, south of Lagos, wifes dad surfed there for a few years in 2003-5

Take security, bribes for the army (and soccer balls for the kids), travel in a convoy

You will, on some days, be rewarded with waves that you have to stop half way coz you are stuffed, not uncommon for 40 second lefts, that could probably go for 3 minutes!
