SAN DIEGO'S BEST BIG WAVE SURFING SPOT

SAN DIEGO’S BEST BIG WAVE SURFING SPOT

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.

Thank you to Jay Manning for capturing the epic thumbnail. The spectators in the foreground give scale to how big the waves were this day.

La Jolla Cove ? Starting at Wind N Sea ?

those waves are small compared to La Jolla Cove 1982. It was so big there were only 3 guys out. One got caught inside, couldn't make it back out and was lucky to make it onto the rocks alive. The other 2 got plucked out by a Coast Guard helicopter. After that, no surfers went out. I've never seen the ocean be that violent before, the swell was big enough to catch some deep underwater feature to the south and if a wave was big enough, a ripple would propagate up the lip of the wave northwards at an insane rate. My buddies and I stood out in the cold rai for a couple hours, watched, and felt the ground beneath our feet vibrate when the waves broke. Unfortunately, I've never seen anything like it since.

That first wave! I thought he was late.

@user-cl5gi6uz1p says:

Is that Ben Gravy and Zeke at 4:40?

I prefer some fries with my burger

@anthonylove821 says:

Some of these surfers aren’t ever going to learn. Surprised a fight didn’t happen. Too close and on top of each other. Someone’s going to get hurt badly by someone else’s board etc.

@brianmitchell9541 says:

I used to down to Boomer on a big swell. Getting out was dangerous because the wave crashed on a reef. So I had to do a shallow dive to get out and be pummeled by the wave. I did just fine showing the lame locals how to bodysurf. Got into a beef with 3 of them once. They were pussies.

@dulichion says:

Is nobody going to mention that's Ben Gravy? @bengravy

@matthewj9832 says:

how lame, a mushy close out that guys on 10ft guns drop i n on each other like it’s malibu

@tzt1182 says:

La Jolla Cove big wave mush burgers. It is amazing at how many people are out there now compared to like 3 decades ago. Back then you would only see maybe 2 people out catching the waves.

@jonb5397 says:

Love the etiquette given.. Ahh, I dont care if you got that wave, its mine now. the rules of etiquette have changed.

@nocomment2035 says:

Wow 3:12, that guy doing the burning is prob the scum of the earth on land. He sees the guy and says, "I'm still going to drop in right over him and try and catch this and make it look like he burned me."

@BootsEditor11 says:

Truly, it was the OG locals owning the waves. Good show, gents!

@TidalMarshmello says:

this is so not the best big wave spot in san diego. let's be real, this wave is in fact, pretty junky.

@steven871 says:

Dangerous and rude drop in @1:10

@davidfournier3355 says:

I see some big ass guns out there..along with some jack ass kooks dropping in!
