SURFING HURRICANE HILARY BARRELS. Tropical storm Hilary slammed California and brought epic surf to Southern California on August 20, 2023. Newport Beach experienced well overhead sets courtesy of pulsing swell and strong offshore winds from the northeast.

This storm caused widespread destruction throughout the Southland, bringing heavy rainfall (nearly 12 inches in certain inland regions), resulting in flooding, road closures, mudslides, and flash floods in Baja.
Hurricane swells are rare but when they do hit California they are a spectacle to be held. Spots like the Wedge and Newport Beach jetties seemed to have the best waves during this rare swell.
Our thoughts are with the community in Maui as the devastation caused by the West Maui Wildfires has destroyed Lahaina and beyond. In addition, Kihei and various areas of Upcountry Maui, such as Kula and Olinda, have faced and are still facing destruction from distinct wildfire outbreaks.

Unbelievably crowded. I assume this was Sunday? I waited until the sun came out on Monday and had an entire North LA point break to just me and a fellow wave rider. Smaller, but much much funner and safer.

Guess I'm an old dude now so get off my lawn, but when I was a grom back in the early/mid-70's we learned (were taught) manners - there were consequences for snaking waves like that. It's like Lord of the Flies out there.

Plus it's historically been a body surfing and bodyboard break. Now it's an exercise in mayhem and everyone for themselves, hard boards flying in the air. Keep your dentist's number handy in your wallet.

@SxTxD_KY 10 ай бұрын

@spamwagon I started surfing about 20 years ago-ok I confess I'm a sponger- and even though it didn't feel good to get called out for fucking up, I learned to appreciate you guys who were still running the lineups back then because the embarrassment was HOW I LEARNED. When you're low-key, respectful of the locals, willing to wait your turn (GO when it is), and willing to take a few sets on the head to avoid fucking up someone's wave, you will earn respect. Which few care to do anymore.

This looks like all pre-13:00 before the drizzle & NE started standing the peaks up, allowing for made super late air drops. After 14:00 on the tide dredge The Point really went off 2Xing this. But for the excessive snakes, so many straight stand up disappearing acts! Please chyron rider names, as possible. Can’t wait 2c the PM rides, so I can slo-no some!

@hasbeenracing 11 ай бұрын

Snaking is not the same as dropping in. It’s padding behind someone to put yourself closer to the curl even though it’s their wave. It’s much more obvious on a point or reef break than a beach break.

My dad 151/2 in 1979 surfing class day number 5 with buddy's. Early-morning Zuma first for him never surf Zuma so foggy socked in bad that day They hear the waves but couldn't see them through the fog standing on the beach that's how bad it was . Always checked wave conditions but not that morning got there and surfing they go. Paddling out dad's last of three now this is Zuma and he's a rookie . You're waves were the same size that morning at Zuma so he hit the eject button you know how big waves look when you're laying on your bored looking up 20 ft no way he can handle 18 to 22 ft faces on only five days surf class The size and year is accurate . Zuma never that big since

You have people making serious life choice errors at the Wedge. Clearly, it was not the right wave. Time slowed, then slowed, once more. You could mark the passing of our days before you hit the bottom and got worked. You could think about your life, and your choices, and the mistakes that you made. The fall would slow down time, slow down your thoughts, slow down everything in this crazy, mixed-up world of ours. Your broken board smashing into your head felt like but a love tap. You could reach your senses in the middle of the wipeout. You could find answers. Isn’t that why we surf? Because we want the world to make sense?
