Biggest Wave Ever Surfed

BIG WAVE SURFING IN SAN DIEGO. This winter San Diego experienced the biggest swell in 15 years on January 6, 2023. This video is a tribute to the historic surf that hit the coast of California, specifically San Diego during this run of swell.

While XL surf is rare in San Diego, it’s a special reminder that San Diego has beaches that can hold XL surf. There are only a handful of waves in the world that can hold the magnitude of an XL swell and Black’s Beach and La Jolla cove are two of those arenas!

This video also serves as the San Diego Waves of the Winter 2022-2023 highlight reel. The majority of clips in this edit are from this past winter season with a few selects from past winters.

We’d like to give a special thank you to all the surfers and filmers that make these videos possible. We have the utmost respect for surfers pushing the limits in our videos and surf filmmakers that are part of SoCal Surfer.

I cannot thank the Sea Screamer enough for such an amazing experience, the longest wave on the Florida panhandle!! Here’s their website: https://seascreamer.net/. For many years I waited for my perfect opportunity to ride this epic novelty wave machine & it just so happened that Captain Cody was thinking the exact same thing. I can’t thank everyone involved enough for making this such an amazing experience. THANK YOU NUB NATION FOR THE DREAM!!! – Love Ben

As a film maker i have always been fascinated in other ways that big waves are ridden especially at Nazare. Foiling is no doubt a pretty new sport as its only been recognized over the last ten years mostly though surfers like Laird Hamilton & Kai Lenny. So in this short I feature two young Basque Country men with one major objective and that’s to ride the biggest wave both in surfing & foiling. Enjoy!
