Surfing the last big west swell of 2012 at El Capitan! The first part is in the morning at high tide at the point, the second part is in the afternoon at low tide inside the cove.

1:11 insane double barrel such a long ride! Gets shacked and then spit out! Any surfer’s dream wave.

There used to be kelp beds all up and down the channel, made for great afternoon surf sessions. '72 - '79 no crowds.

That looks about as fun as it gets, but too crowded.

Push in and hold onto your nuts! Got to love dropping into a good old EL Cap death barrel. Don't hit the rocks, it hurts : )

Its a Canon SX 40 HS. Its a bridge, not a reflex (no lenses), but its really cool for surf videos/pictures (optic zoom X35), and not that expensive!

I've driven by El Cap many times...Always thought to myself that it must go off when its firing. Looks just like I thought it would.

@@noqtonorth Indeed. Many fickle breaks on that stretch of coast, not to mention all the Ranch breaks.

was there any north in this swell? or does this spot need straight west swell? would like to go check out when this spot is firing.

@triggeringusingreality4934 2 жыл бұрын

More west and longer period the better. Mid period can sometimes be fun too. WSW is actually the best though and I believe if I remember correctly this swell was coming off a pineapple express storm so this swell was WSW which basically means "extremely west" The more North in the swell, the spottier it will be. Also will break more on the tip of the sandbar/ point than wrap all the way to the freeway like it was this day

I’m years late on this but does anyone know who that dude is at 1.10 to like 1.20. That is as good as backhand tube riding gets in these conditions. If he didn’t run that dude over while pigdogging he’d have made the third pit too!
