    Default 7/25 "The Wedge" pics

    Saturday was supposed to be spent hanging out in the surf with a fishing rod in my hand, but the conditions dictated otherwise so I decided to hit the Wedge and check out the massive surf that was pounding the South facing beaches...the spot where it all came to the head being "the Wedge" outside NPH.

    Found a parking spot around 9am and the first thing I saw as I approached the beach was a very welcome sight, the DFG checking stats and asking questions....


    A quick shot as I walked towards the rocks to meet up with Timster, lots of people were already lined along the beach watching the surfers out on the water


    Not too much later...can you say "move back a little"?


    On the other side of the jetty it was a much calmer scene...a new member ready to do battle with Koshaw and 2Quick in the ongoing saga of "Rod Wars"!!!


    Cold beverage anyone?


    John Wayne's old boat "Wild Goose" even got out to check out the waves


    Granted it was nothing compared to the other side of the jetty,but check out the rollers along the breakwall heading towards the bait barge


    With rod wars being represented, "Camera Wars" were being waged by many....spearheaded by none other than Timster!!!





    Ch7 was not going to miss the action....


    There were literally thousands of dollars of camera and video equipment present


    In all sorts of shapes and sizes...


    These dudes had lap tops at the beach to set up their gear


    Check out the people in the tree trying to check out the waves


    Okay so what is the big deal? Why the crowd?


    Only experienced swimmers/surfers/boarders were allowed in the water


    Photos don't ever do the waves justice, but try and use the people in the water as a reference for size....





    "Did I just survive that?"


    The point of no return baby!


    Woo-hoooooo!!!!


    The various rescue boats in the area did a great job when they were needed




    Rescue in progress...


    Swimmer being taken out past the waves to be picked up by the rescue boat


    Rescue boat took the tired swimmer around the jetty to be dropped off in safe waters


    TM65's dream job..."there ain't no 5mph zone past the breakwater bro"



    Personally I liked my vantage point just fine...


    Case in point


    Nice ride dude....


    One of my favorite shots of the day




    Thanks for checking out the post, see you on the water...

    troutdog,
    great pix, thanks

    i was tubing on the corona side saturday morning. there were lots of monster waves going over the jetty. another fisherman told me that on friday someone died at the wedge hitting the rock.

    some scary waves... these surfers have big balls
