MASSIVE WAVES AT BLACK'S BEACH AND LA JOLLA COVE. It's rare when San Diego surf gets big enough for La Jolla cove to start breaking!
A Bombing WNW Swell brought epic surf to California in January 2023. Surfline named this swell one of the top five largest west-northwest swells of the last 15 years. Blacks Beach and La Jolla Cove were two of the spots that could hold the size of this historic swell.
The Wild West SoCal recap will continue with two more videos from this epic run of surf in San Diego!

@21paraflyer Жыл бұрын

Used to dive that cove a good bit in my Navy days. Usually pretty tame but we generally had to time our return to the beach underwater with the waves. You would let the wave push you forward and jam your dive knife in the sand to hold position as it swept back out and then pull it out of the sand as the next wave moved you forward again. No way to fight it and no way to be on the surface and getting rolled in the surf with scuba gear on… Fun times!

When the guy falls and there are all those people trying to dive under, I wonder how many times bodies collide. Also, when that guy jumps off the end of the wave, the leach slingshots the board back at him. Has to hurt if that hits him.

Breakfast burrito (with plantains) from a little place on the way back to Encinitas, clean up and sometimes hit Lou’s Records for sweet music deals.
