The Wedge, Newport Beach

September 17th, 2005

 

"The Monster Down Under" peaked yesterday.  A storm from New Zealand pushed the biggest swell that So Cal has seen since the Spring of 2004.  Trestles saw 10' + waves and The Wedge had faces around 15' - 20'.  Today, the swell had slightly dropped, but was still able to pump out some remarkable waves!!!  Great day to stay on shore and take advantage of the great photo opps.

I've had a few people ask me; and no, this isn't me bodysurfing...I'm not that crazy!!!

Click Here to see an !!!AMAZING!!! video of The Wedge from www.surfline.com the day before I took the shots above.  You've never seen anything like this on the CA coastline (except Mavericks). To get a perspective of the wave height, look how minuscule the people are in comparison. (5.4 MB video)
