Happy New Year! We are excited to share our another episode from this historic run of swell we had last week in San Diego. La Jolla Cove took the spotlight on Saturday December 30th. Surfline forecasted this day to have surf up to 15 to 18 foot faces. Cheers to a prosperous 2024!

San Diego big waves may be rare but when it happens San Diego can compete with the best locations in world. This large swell showed how many world class waves we are lucky to have here in San Diego and more specifically La Jolla. Enjoy this video on your smart TV in 4K for the best experience.

Giant swell hits the coast of California causing flooding and destruction. Meanwhile a large group of surfers take on Mavericks in Half Moon Bay, California. This was some of the biggest swell numbers we’ve seen for Mavericks. After almost missing my flight I flew over after filming Jaws the day before. Not knowing what to expect as the day before at Mavericks had extreme south winds and stormy conditions. Got up early and it was massive. We all knew it would be a tow day. The cliff was packed with people as water was going over the break wall and swamping people all day. Jojo Roper caught the wave of the day. Luca Padua stood out as well on one of the craziest waves from the day. Andrew Cotton got towed into a monster that clamped on him. Bianca Valenti had an insane wipeout that resulted in a 20 second hold down and popping up right before she took the next wave on the head. And Kai Lenny and Lucas Chianca surf giant mavericks like it was a small day. Enjoy this video from an Historic Day at Mavericks.

Huge waves hit California’s coast. In Ventura County, one wave crashed over a beach wall, hurting at least eight people. The swell came from storms in the Pacific Ocean. These storms also caused flooding, made people leave their homes, and left a lot of trash on the beaches.

Life is an amazing thing – you begin to appreciate and love it when you lose something and then the realization comes that you were happy yesterday and the day before. But today you are again not happy with something. It’s like a wave, I realized its beauty after it fell and didn’t appreciate it when I was surfing. Let’s not lose the taste and focus of life itself.
