The Mavericks Awards is a digital video performance contest in which big wave surfers and videographers submit their best surf content from Mavericks from the entire winter season. Founded by Jeff Clark and Chris Cuvelier, our mission is to celebrate Mavericks and the brave men and women that surf it. Our values of respect, inclusion, equality, safety and environmental stewardship guide all our decisions and how we operate the Mavericks Awards.

BIGGEST NEW JERSEY SURF IN 30 YEARS

Monday, December 18th, 2023 was the biggest surf New Jersey’s seen in over 30 years.

Surfing New Jersey in the middle of the winter is a challenge given the freezing temperatures, stiff offshore winds, rip currents, thick wetsuits, and steep drop ins. Add the biggest swell in history and it becomes a true challenge only a handful of surfers are down to attempt.

According to Surfline, the Delaware Bay buoy recorded a staggering 6.3 meters at 15 seconds on Monday morning, solidifying its place in East Coast surfing history.

Enjoy the highlights from this El Niño-influenced swell as surfers pushed the limits in a classic big wave surfing fashion.
