- This surf just keeps coming and surfers across the West Coast are baffled :)
This is day 5 of chasing this 2 week + West Coast swell. I hit El Porto in Manhattan Beach and couldn't believe what I was looking at. It doesn't get like this often.
Thanks for watching! I'm Brad Jacobson and I'll sea ya on the sand.

I'm 70 now, but at 16 years old I spent the best summer of my life surfing Manhattan Beach every day!
The best summers of my life at Porto.
72. And I heard about this break for 50 years. First time I have seen what the fuss is about
@Pat Luxor Back in the 80s and 90s it was the place to be. We’d hit the pier every now and then too. I’ll check out 8th street one day 🤞
26th street between Marine has best sandbars but 85 percent of the year it’s closed out.but every now or then which are few and far between it does it’s thing! The hill can get insane outside real big! Burnout or the Avenues, Breakwater, they can all have their moments. Just like any other break. Happy new year.
It’s a trip how you’re 70 now….like when they say it goes fast they mean it!!!
I surfed El Porto, 45th street back in the 80s. Great memories.
This is the break I told my wife to sprinkle some my ashes in. I have so many good memories here. Thanks for getting this footage. It hasn't been this good since 2009.
My neck of the woods! Early 2000's I would bodyboard here when these swells hit really scary! Great footage thanks!!
NSMBL 4 life!!!
Having just moved to the South Bay, this is making being home back east for the holidays very painful. Thank you @BradJacobson
When I lived up there I remember once or twice a year it would get this big and classy and for about an hour or two it would be perfect, open, stand up barrels on the left. Every wave, every guy, trading off perfect long barrels. Only happens when the stars align… but when they do it feels like you’re in Hawaii surfing pipe. Once you get Porto like that you keep coming back in hopes you’ll get another day like that.
Take us to PV, lets see the bay or the cove or Hags
Not worth getting beaten up for...
@@crunchers9😂 some people ain’t scared to die
I surfed there in the 80's and 90's....42nd street my home break from back then! The hay days of Scott Daley Ted Robinson and the Body Glove boys. I love to see Porto on here the way you cover it Brad.
for all the hate the LA takes from the global surf community, el porto has its moments of splendor. and hats off to the generations of loyalists trying to coax some magic out there. also, it will beat the stuffing out of anyone, on days like this.
I remember pulling up to Manhatten many years ago ,and it was so big ,and lined up that you could see swells from the top of hill before the beach houses all the way to the horizon ,with offshore Santa Anas winds ,and i never did make it out into the lineup that day ,just fighting white water ,but there were surfers out making those vertical drops amazingly !
We lived there about 6 years ago by sand dune park., my son's first job was the surf shack. He would surf before or after work. It was nice but, Santa Cruz mountains is more our speed. Grateful for the footage.
Too cold for me even with a wetsuit ! 😂😂😂😂Good luck , join you when the sun's out and summer is here
These were sick waves. Loved it. Thanks for filming and sharing.
Nice work as always Brad!!
Brad!!! El porto is gnarly. I was volunteering at a surf camp back in 2020 and the waves were even bigger during the storm that week! My buddy who is a lifeguard had to save 5 new surfers who were out there before the destruction began. surf can get CRAZY over there
“Should of been here yesterday”. The most common words spoken in surfing. One day can be all the difference depending on if you were there or not. Something all surfers know. 😆🤘
Wow! Really nice shots. Been nearly fifty years since that was my playground. Don't ever remember such great waves. Mt Hood is a pretty good reverse playground though. Crowds are certainly less.
Sick! 🔥🔥🔥 every so often Porto pipes! Good to see
Insane footage thanks for the show
Hey Brad, at the end of your videos you say, "thanks for watching". Well thanks for creating great stuff for us to watch. keep up the great work bro.
Great video grew up in the South Bay Manhattan Pier surfing PE in high school back in the seventies when it got really big we went to the oil Pier which is now a hammerland you wouldn't believe how good that left would be off that oil Pier especially on a really big South swell be flat everywhere till you got to Manhattan Pier and it just kept getting bigger you had to climb over the fence back in those days there was no boardwalk
Mate haven’t watched you’re channel for like 3 months happy to be back had alot of stuff on great ocntent
Your content kicks ass!!! Keep it up!!!
I love El Porto. My family has been going to Manhattan Beach since we were kids.
It's my go-to spot the last 5 years or so. Haven't been in a long time, mainly because of work. But thanks for the footage 😊 🤙.
10 minutes breake from my job to watch this. It was very relaxing. Thank you for the movie!
Beautiful glassy tubes at its best, big and gnarly because it can break so fast or close out on you. A few very impressive rides, including some extended tubes. Very impressive shape and smoothness to the swells pouring through.
Yea Brad.. love your channel! Aloha
Tremendous job putting these shots together.
I am so thankfull to have surfed Elporto yesterday and today
Crying in Norcal, lol 🤣. Those are some beautiful waves. It's just a blown out, rainy, sad mess up here, for the next week+ at least 😭😭😭
Fifty years ago the Hyperion Plant outlet would hold enough sand to make big swells like this wrap around it like a point. This and the Manhattan Pier were the only places in MB that could hold a swell. Called it "shit pipes"
They took a bunch of metal off of it in the 90's. It isn't the same kind of quality anymore, particularly at larger sizes and off-peak tides. Still gets good, but rarely great.
@@anotherworldviewispossible Thank you for the update. They should have made it an artificial reef.
@@chrisbrowne4669 too bad Pratt's Reef was a fail. 😞
@@jaywill1978 It was a doomed (undersized) design, with a poorly thought-out placement...and the bags got knifed immediately, as well.
@@anotherworldviewispossiblewhat do yo mean the bags gotnknifed
Used to sponge there and the pier till about 2015. Tough paddle when it gets about 4-6' and above.
High tide can really help produce those peelers. The waves on the inside were good too.
So fun! Great video. Pipeline for a day.
Dude!n n The Hov, alive and on camera! Hes a legend in the South Bay.
so grateful for this video. thanks for sharing.
Getting Ocean Beach vibes with that paddle out.
1/3 the power, 1/4 the distance
OB was breaking like that during the same storm.
I’m not a participant anymore, but I love watching. Thank you for sharing!
This is some amazing break for here ! 😊
B-RAD. Just subbed. Keep them coming! I will watch this forsure.
SouthBayBoogie !
HappyNewYear . . . ! ! !
Great footage!!! Big El P macking!!
In 1985 I was 21 and moved from Hawaii to my Moms in CA to race MX. Had a gnarly crash months later at Ascot. Broken back, leg, wrist so I was hung up. One day my friends said they were gonna surf Manhattan. I needed to get out the house so I went with them. I grew up full surf mode at home on the North Shore so I figured I’d go watch them on some grovelers. Anything to get outside. Well, when we got there it was clean like this and firing! Clean 5-6’ Hawaiian size and barreling lefts and rights every where up and down the beach. Hardly anyone out. I never saw good waves like that in CA before. I was freaking on it. My friends were looking at it like it was shitty. I’m amping telling them goooo! Wtf are you guys waiting for!??? They were like, “I wonder if it’s good somewhere else?” I was almost yelling at them, WTH!?? Get out there!!! It ain’t gonna be better EVER!!! They decided to go to eat instead. I told them to never talk about surfing with me again😢😂 I was so bummed. Being injured sucked hard that day
Tell your bros to " scrub it kooks"😂😂😂😂😂 quote from North Shore the movie
Way to go Zane keep ripping the waves buddy
Felt good to get some.surfed BWALL AND Hb.seems like haven’t had a swell that last more then a day. Cool vid .subed and liked.hope to see more.
Not a chance I’d attempt that paddle out. Those are some heavy bombs.
Great footage!
David, 71,grew up at 122 43r st. Brings back old. Emories...
I lived @ 4214 strand from 67' to 69' b4 moveing to Surfside and El Porto nevr changes.Will always be dear to my heart.Great when workn @ westside studios and getn off early n catching Porto on way home.ENJOY!!!!EPOCH.
Been to this beach so many times. Hard to believe those waves are El Porto! I would think that good Manhattan Beach surfers are just not used the barrels. That's crazy.
Yeap... why we would go to other spots when we were up from HB. It's a lot of work out there and the lineup just shift all over the place. Great video and edits
This gets me fired up
Great to see a Cameo of the Hov!
Love your vids, but they are killing me now that I moved to Idaho from CA. Uggghhh. I should have flown home for this swell. Crazy good waves.
When I surfed anything over 6 feet was too big!! These guys are fantastic, and IMO very brave. Shit, what is water temperature? 50 degrees?
I remember big days where you lost your stomach dropping down the back side of the wave’s waiting for the set waves!
I'm 75 and have never seen tubes like these in the South Bay.
Best I've ever seen EP look
Not often, for certain. From Manhattan Beach..celebrated 21st at Poncho's..wonder if still there. Fun times in a different era. RH/Florida
man those first several were buttery and perfect...then it started to look a little more like porto lol. almost seems like nature was rewarding that first group of guys.
Late 70s early 80s Marine St was on the cover of Surfer Mag
Two huge A-frames
We were from Dogtown and wed bypass surfing local and go to Manhattan 21st or Porto
When its on its on. 🌊
heavy! that paddle out is no joke. don't get caught in the wrong place or else you'll get absolutely thrashed
I like El Porto on a major rising tide, when some big rip tides are happening, and then you can surf it twice as big as this, because the rip tides enable you to paddle out with less dunking, and they also make channels in the otherwise closed out walls, and enable you to come out of big long tube rides. El Porto is all about timing and reading the spot. If it's not doing there then all that energy is probably focusing better somewhere else.
Good to see Hunter Jones out there!
Nice footage.
I used to go to that beach all the time in the 70s and 80s 😮wow
I was gonna go Friday. But I was feeling so sick that day 🤙🏽
It looks like a lot of surfers got their first barrel's judging by the way they surf 🤙🤙
Yeeeew! When South Bay goes off 🤙
there were some absolute BOMBS going off at Torrance Beach about a week ago. yes, torrance beach. it was wild.
The Ave's do get waves as does the Break wall.
Nice!
Might've been a good day for a Rincon or Ox trip ...
Glassy good barrels. St Francis visits So Cal
nice stuff!
I grew up at this beach some good times.
Its been just as good on the South Sides of the Venice Pier for a solid week..
No it hasn't. Cut the size in half, and you're coming closer to reality.
THE HOV sighting!
Sick
Still going off! At least 20' faces this morning, and clean🤙😎
Proper dbl overhead, thanks!
Thank you for your effort Brad!! Hug from Portugal!!
Wow!
5 dates that will live in infamy!
Guy with the red rails cut out onto the roof top😅
Looks like footage you'd see from someplace out west in the pacific ocean.
These are small compared to the wave along Rincon parkway yesterday, sets were 18-22'.
I thought it was over wed
Yesterday and today were bonus days
hunter jones has such good style
Cool.
guy at 5.:05 gets the wave and surfs it well. congrats, nice one.
Nice to see lone boogie man at 9:35
I feel like cold water = stiff legs 😂 keep charging everyone 🖤🙌
Perfect for my moonraker
My spot ❤
That's the best I have seen porto
We dream about conditions like this...
Looks like the outer banks...just mushier, warmer and easier drops.
Ber,looks cold
Rad 💚👍🏻😎
Was out there probably 20 yrs ago on a similar day and got my ass handed to me....2 wave hold down and I thought I was done for sure.....that place packs a punch
Quality swell
