I've been scuba diving three times at Cortes Bank. It's amazing that it can be flat calm, no wind, and have 200 foot visibility part of the year and have giant waves another part of the year.
My favorite place! I've spent 43 nights anchored in my skiff on the Cortes Bank since 1993..
lots of fishin!
I work at a fuel dock in mission bay, lived in San Diego my whole life and have heard nothing about it till yesterday.
Really? Have you been sleeping? If any wave spot could rival the humongous waves at Nazare Portual, it's Cortez Bank. Like Nazare, Cortez Bank is a super-dome of huge waves. The giant waves at Nazare move slow by comparison to Cortez Bank which is the fastest wave ever? Perhaps because it was discovered recently (within the last 10 years), that you never heard about it.
Don't you know Mike Parsons set the record there for one of the biggest waves ever ridden. Check it out!

@@ExoticDvaThe first person known to have surfed the Cortes Bank is Harrison Eaely of Oceanside California. Eaely reports that he accomplished the feat during the summer of 1962 on a big south swell.
from the book - Ghost Wave by Chris Dixon (2011)
Our boat looks AMAZING! in these shots. Great footage! Gnarly surfing!
Great footage! Me in a Speedo would have added that "cherry"! That's funny stuff right there, focus on my cuts not my package
Stunning documentary!
Awesome! I never realized there were geographic features like this, nor had I ever heard of this spot until now.

Ghost Wave by Chris Dixon is a great read for anyone interested in this place and it’s history.
3:40 amazing shot
First time I've seen modern cameras, angles, and recording of Cortes since like footage from 2001 when Mike parsons was still getting towed in.
Since then Portugal has become the reigning king of big waves. But this was fuckin awesome and reminded us how fuckin gnarly Cortes is
Yeah, quite exciting to see some recent footage of Cortez.

Show a complete wave FFS instead of just a few seconds
Yeah, it cuts away from dropping in and just flying on 30 foot glassy open ocean freight trains!
Beautiful.
I would imagine that the right conditions for this break every year can be counted on one hand.
2:08 Tweggy "Woooooooo oh oh oh oh oh oh....!!!!!!"🌊💣
I guess the swell at Cortez Bank ist more reliable than at Nazare's ( Port.). Nazare' is pretty much like Maverick's, you only have a small time window, and even that ain't 100% reliable: a friend of mine was at Nazare' with Red Bull, filming Jason Polakow ... the swell was almost three weeks off schedule!
I've never been at Cortez Bank, and probably never will ... but for me that's SURREAL ... I've been told you can hear the thundering waves from far away ... must be freakin' scary, to say the least, beside the fact that being so far out in the ocean, you may encounter giant sea creatures ... I don't even want to think about ... but for me: the CB is the mount everest of surfing ... period
By the way, my riding skills are far too low for even dreaming of it ... still, that is probably one of the most radical demonstration of power of mother nature ...
Up until yesterday, they just blazed their way out there and surfed.
What drone did you guys use..Phantom or Inspire? Interesting as we use em for whale studies and its high concentration when the boat is moving and everything else..but guess you were anchored :) for launch and retrieval?
Some awesome waves and rides. Too bad only a third of this vid shows surfing.
whats the music at 2:40?
If I had a say in the way I could die......Jim Paull -Cortes Banks!!
What song begins at 2:10?
I noticed McNamara wasn't invited. Greg doesn't want him dropping in and going straight.
Steven Nelson Not invited? He was at Nazaré that winter, not a small trip to Cortes bank and back if you wanna catch the new years swell.
SO S I C K ! ! !
Kai Lenny surf Cortes Bank???
Music too loud, voice too quiet.
I found the thing too load and the other thing too quiet, that's why I surf..
No other sport takes the same amount of courage then surfing. That's my opinion.
Skip to 2:20 👌
Cortez bank old school record breaking big surf waves been watching this place for 20+ years.....Nazare is the new hot spot insane wave heights
yep Nazare´ has the biggest waves in the 🌎 ever surfed, Cortes just has the potential to get as big or bigger waves but hasn't happened yet
@@MrRobjs83 that we know of
@@jonathanrobbins530 right
@@MrRobjs83 probably has just no one was there to see it either because of other conditions or just not knowing it breaks like that
San Clemente rippah.
Yup, sanclamatowierdos rock! You kids just don't know the "right away", be kind, even skimmers. We got your back; and often pick up your trash. 5-31-2016
The wave that almost took Greg Long away
Abu Dabu obviously it was his choice .But the wave almost killed him .That isn't too complicated to understand
@Abu Dabu okay bud. Not sure if you are a a surfer but you win
I fed all of the dolphins in sea world jolly ranchers and malt loaf
You know I'm trying to rial you, cause dolphins only enjoy plastic bags
God wsl
Who else is here because of Point Break?
Drone footage sucks at showing the real size of waves, never seen one that comes close.
GO NAZARÉ
Nazare sucks. Boring, crumbly mushy wave.
ld1112 that's not true, have you ever been there?
Id1112- clean waves, nice people. No theft
xlnt video, but who picked that awful music?
haha how come these guys always talk like peahi doesnt even exist. just saying.
Jealousy
I'm pretty sure these guys have all proved themselves at Peahi, kook.
haha thats why i say it cuz they havnt proved themselves here yet in real big surf. havnt had a real swell since 2004 fool haha
PureDIGITALMaui And these people have all probably been surfing since the 80s, what's your point?
Your a fucking barney, ask the walshs if greg and twiggy haven't proven themselves in Maui. Why you put them in your videos then.fuckin barney sitting on the beach filming,not surfing.shut up already
