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.
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.
I have no idea why this is titled the best big wave surfing spot in San Diego... looks like a bunch of kooks on Rhino chasers shoulder hoping each other... the real deal is at Blacks, Swamis or maybe Point Loma depending on the tides
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.
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.
Man…. People sleep on sunset cliffs so much when we have these swells. Lol. They think it’s just a joke. Indicators was so big the day I was out there it looked like blacks. Easily this size if not bigger. Broken boards everywhere.
Not a surfer, but based on what we saw, bigger at Sunset Cliffs on Sunday. At La Jolla on Thursday, guys having to wait a lot for good sets. Enjoyed seeing both, and seeing San Diego.
For surfers and non surfers watching an XXL north swell at the Cove is like a mini version of watching Nazaré. lol What surprised me is no cameramen shot La Jolla Shores. I’ve seen a triple overhead barreling right break right out in front of the parking lot on a similar swell. Thanks SCS.
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."
