Biggest is not always best. And in the case of last week’s Wild West swell — the biggest in decades to hit California — truth is, it was only actually good at a handful of spots during short windows of tide and wind, and/or at tucked-in nook-and-cranny novelty waves. (It also wreaked 17 different kinds of havoc across the state, washing over roadways, breaking piers and into harbors.) Yeah, it was a historic surf event which’ll be talked about in parking lots and lineups and coffee shops for years, and it rearranged the relationship with where we surf, but it (mostly) ended up being more spectacle than participatory. And above we present the spectacle, including a mad return to Todos Santos. With more on the way, especially Friday and Saturday across Southern California.

Nazare Portugal puts up some monster-sized waves and is the place multiple records for the ‘tallest wave surfed’ have been broken. The current record is 86 feet tall but the waves produced can reach over 100 feet.

One of the largest swells in the past 15 years hit the west coast on Friday January 6, 2023.
Thanks to surf forecaster Mike Durand with SwellMagnet for helping me sort out where to go for this swell. I was torn between Rincon and San Diego and opted to go where it would be biggest.
Thanks for watching. I’m Brad Jacobson and I’ll sea ya on the sand.
