I can only remember a handful of times in recent decades when it’s been this big. Some of the beach breaks are really difficult to paddle out to, but killer to see folks charging. Used to love surfing Lucadia @ Beacons during big swells. Some of these sets were BIG! Great channel man.
I bought my first board, an 8 ft.Yater in 1969...I was a regular at Tourmaline from 1994 to 2018. The best year was '98 when we had a El Nino. Big waves all winter and warm water until Dec. Nothing like getting caught inside when a mac-wave breaks on your head. A lot of great memories. I miss it.
Just found your channel. Incredible waves! Was sunset cliffs going off? I'm 67, live in NorCal now. Moved to ocean beach in 1978, next 13 yrs lived in OB and later point Loma. Some of the Best years of my life.
Wow when saw the title did not expect this big!!! Always loved how solid waves quickly sort out the men from the boys. So many people do not want any part of it once it gets real solid.
Man you should have seen the waves the night the swell peaked. I was in that same spot in La Jolla at 0:00 and the sets were ENOURMOUS I couldn't believe how far the waves were breaking. Poor seals got wiped clean off the rocks on one particularlaly large set, and the water actually went over the wall into the grass area.
The Cove has almost always sucked when it gets that large. It’s really just a drop. But, all the other reefs and the La Jolla beach break waves looked amazing.
I think you can say generally that the bigger waves in this video are at Black's Beach and the less big ones are at La Jolla Cove. Tell me if I am wrong, though. In any event, these waves are bigger than I ever saw them when I was growing up in San Diego.
It was way bigger in winter of 1982. The waves were so big you could feel the vibration when a wave broke when you were standing on solid ground. Two friends and I stood there (looking straight west from La Jolla Cove) for hours in the cold rain and watched. It was the most violent waves I'd ever seen, by far. Initially there were 3 surfers out there, but after 1 got caught inside and couldn't get back out (he rode whitewater onto the rocks and luckily survived), the authorities fished the other 2 out with a helicopter. I have hard time describing just how violent it was. There was some underwater feature that caused some really violent actions on the wave, like if a hypothetical surfer caught the wave, the secondary feature would have pitched him into the air. The waves were 30 to 40 feet, but it was hard to tell because there were no reference points (no people or anything else). I"ll never forget it. Someday I hope to see something else like that. Feel the ground rumble when the lip crashes.
That swell of 82 was legendary. The write-ups in Surfer and Surfing mags had epics pics showing both the bombs coming through and the destruction left behind
@@wisu3529 I'm glad someone else remembers it and verifies that I'm not just telling a fish story! As for the wave: the "feature" I'm talking about must've been some sort of weird protrusion on the ocean floor. When a sufficiently large wave contacted it, a ripple would travel perpendicular to the direction of the wave. So, the wave is heading west and as it's about to break, it contacts the feature and the ripple would propagate north along the lip of the wave. It was violent and probably only a world class surfer would have even a small chance of staying on their board. I've never seen anything like it (the ripple) before or since, not even on any big wave youtube videos. Not even Shipstern's. Only the largest waves would get that ripple. Off the coast of ultra-gentrified La Jolla, of all places. I wish there was digital video back then, it would have been nice to have been able to archive it.
Never seen waves like that @ The Cove. Neither have they, judging by their intimidation, leading me to conclude there isn’t much “big wave surfing in San Diego.” (But ya know, Eddie Would Go!)
@@Middlefinger696 100% no reason to name spots ever. You are cool, there you go isn’t that what you wanted do you feel cooler naming spots! Real surfers don’t name any spots and you show how much of a kook you are by naming them. Go home!
When I was young this was off limits. Boomers was body surf only and you had to take off around the buoys. Couldn’t even use a hand plane and was enforced.

It takes a LOT of heart to paddle into one of those behemoths!
Great video. Awesome tube ride shots
Looks GREAT! When I was living in SD back in '87-89 I didn't remember waves this Big- enjoy while you can!
Glad I paddled out there, this was a once in a decade swell
When was this? March 23, or awhile back
@@cliffboule8395 This was in January, the 6th to about the 9th or 10th there was a huge swell
@@b4ssfunk3dThanks. Was confused with the repost; there was a very large wind swell in LA, thought it had clean up down there.
I never saw u out there bro
@@suicidaltendencies99dude, we talked for like an hour in the line-up😂

My favorite was Neptune’s by there.
Great raw footage. Looks awesome
Those tube rides are awesome.

Da boys was charging! Great waves, and skill.
That last set wave was wicked!
fun to watch locals experience great waves
They had some nice breaks that day. I love riding the Pacific. Great video.
It's really PUMPING..JEEESCH
Great compilation!
OTC 💯💥
Nice ride!!!❤
Love your videos. Blacks does a great impersonation of Padang when conditions are right.
OMG !!!!

Are you still surfing?
I'm 40 and my journey to learn how to surf is about to begin going out for a surf this week hope I catch my first wave 🤙🏾
I surfed OB, PB, MB, Baja, etc., ‘75 to ‘79. Liked Del Mar a lot, less crowded back then. Now 65, SD native, moved away ‘80
@@onedrop6011 stick with it, the first twenty years is just to see if you are interested in learning how to surf. 🤙🏻
New Break
Wow when saw the title did not expect this big!!! Always loved how solid waves quickly sort out the men from the boys. So many people do not want any part of it once it gets real solid.
Oooooohhh My what a crazy sess
🤙 Yeah Now 🤙
Looks tasty!
Next time you get to La Jolla get some footage of the reefs near Windansea. It's always pumpin!
Half of those waves were Bigrock

La Jolla! feeling a touch home sick now.
The carnage is real in that intro.
The "Fentanil Beach"!!!!😂
What happened to the wave @2:40
BIG WEDNESDAY!!!
Best pipeline day at Blacks
Swami's has been known to hold up with very good waves and a large swell also. But everyone wanted to focus on Black's, etc.
Pretty cool!
Damn. I bet most locals were not in in the water that day...
😮😮🔥🔥🔥
What was that black thing at 18 second mark surfer went over?
0:41 ... It was at this moment he knew he F'ed up 😆
Nuts and perfect
What is in the water below the first surfer in the video at 0:16?
It looks like Kelp.
What's that spot with the big rock? 😉
those last waves shown look really deadly, I wonder if the guy washed over at the end has really gotten out without any injury
That one was brutal.
Some sick little nuggets stashed in this vid.
Thanks Eh 🤙🏻
:17 What is that dark shape under brother's board?
The Cove has almost always sucked when it gets that large. It’s really just a drop. But, all the other reefs and the La Jolla beach break waves looked amazing.
One day, this will be me in the waves there. :) but not yet.
すご〜い😂

Big Rock are those hollow lefts in video.
that is so crazy the falls hit you and just throw you off your board. Paddling out has to be totally crazy....without a jet ski.
gnarly with all the debri in the water
Trash?
Awesome! Would love to showcase some of your footage on my channel.
any shots from Redondo ?
Ooooh my gat
0:54 That's pipeline right there
Is that La Jolla cove?
SoCal waves are bigger than East Coast waves. Those waves actually almost easier to catch...this SoCal Filipino's getting homesick too:)

0:29 was he okay?!
What a compilation…

what part of SD is this?
La Jolla🤙🤙🤙
The amazing part is how they get back out through the crashing waves.
What is that dark thing at 0:17 ?
My thoughts exactly?! 🦈
Looks kinda like a dolphin
Dolphin
2:20 Lip to Head action
😮
Almost looks like Navarro. The first few seconds. Not Navarro but as big almost on some sets!!
Stoke!🤙🤙 Thanks for sharing !😊 Made me holla out loud at home!🌊🤙
Mini Nazare
San Diego?? Where and when?
La Jolla and this was like during Xmas lmfao
"Surfers are advised to stay out of the water until the danger of large waves subsides" - SLO radio station
Some waves look really good set up but then they mush out - crush city.
Jersey?
Yep, that big left was 8th st in OC circa 1985 🔥
NEED TO MOVE BACK
Thought this was Nazare at first glance
First wave Is Renz…
That was sick as F_ck. Blacks. Was pumping. Thank you for the footage
does pumpin just consist of closeouts and fat shoulders?
@@krusher74 I like fat shoulders. There were some good rides
No reason to name spots ever.
@@therealbeans I think by now everybody knows where blacks is at

1:55 thats one inch from getting his head sliced WTF
Ya way too many people out there to make it enjoyable.
When I was young this was off limits. Boomers was body surf only and you had to take off around the buoys. Couldn’t even use a hand plane and was enforced.
Gotta be Blacks.
If it’s Blacks where’s the TNA 😂 🤙
Why is every surfer wearing a wetsuit? Is that because the water is too cold, or is it to protect the skin from wounds?
Cold - local water usually comes down the coast from the Arctic and can sometimes be very cold.
The water is maybe 57 F degrees and the air in the low 60s in January in San Diego.
clean up aisle > 5
Boomers. - stayed with bud miller Red Roost circa 1969. - we knew his mom in Venezuela
Was huge as this. - finished at La Jolla shores
Nobody out. - 2
looks like pipe line
kinda small for me
