- Tested out some filming this evening with the Canon R5 and this new 100-500mm RF lens during the biggest swell I've been home for in a while.
Taylor Knox and Joel Tudor were out, along with many others, including some who probably shouldn't have paddled. It was big and west, with a lot of closeouts, but definitely some good ones. Hope you enjoy these raw session videos. I'm going to try and post way more.

Ah yes! I recall surfing Swamis, me and 70 of my closest friends. Good times. Merry Christmas to all!!
Those are pretty big waves, especially for so cal surfers.
Good to know Swarmi's is just as crowded when it's big as it is when it's small.
There’s only one solution to swamis crowds: howling onshores (which is when I usually surf it)
I can’t believe how many sea fleas were on those waves

Hey man, don’t tell him that 😂
Tell him it’s unsurfable when it’s big and blown out.
I'm your fan!!! I'm your admirer!!! I only have one sadness about you, that you throw your fans away like trash, I'm one of them, but still, I'm your fan!!! I have observed your journeys, trajectories and struggles, I reflect a lot on your strength, nothing is easy, but we need to move for things to happen, even with struggles and difficulties, problems, including: this is our motto: struggles and wars daily, that try to stop us from getting where we want, but we are insistent in everything, so that we can get there... of course, clinging to God, regardless of religious belief, this is the only way we can get there, that's it. It's all good!!! I'm your fan!!! May God bless you so much, always including your family!!! Happy Holidays, my friend from far away!!! Please don't throw me away!!! Here’s to 2024, with many victories and achievements!!! These are the wishes of your friend from afar: Rubenn Dean Paul Alws "Petrópolis, Rio de Janeiro" Brazil!!! (Google/RUclips)
KOOKS ONLY 😂
Back in the late 70’s we caught it slightly bigger, super clean & top to bottom - a forever memory.
wow i cant wait to surf this with the entire population of the US it will be so much fun !
You and 150 of your best friends 😂
@@maaags_ yep!
"A full yardsale" made me laugh out loud. Some things never change. I've been there getting hammered on the inside or trying to paddle out on a heavy day. Its sort of a self regulating wave at that point. Swami's where you will get dropped in on by 2 people at once and sort it out on the wave. The only way to surf Swami's is to paddle out while its still dark and get a couple of good ones before the horde shows up and make things really dangerous.
great footage. What a disaster of a crowd
Man I could just watch those waves for hours
I've learned that crowd don't matter. More than half the people won't take off, the others are out of their league and then there maybe like 10 guys that are really in the right spot for position take off.
dude, yes exactly 99% surf like dog shit 1% handle the rest go out to say they were out there
What about the 40 guys in your way wrecking your wave?😊
@@JohnDoe-ko5xl If he was, he wouldn't be saying this...
💯 !!! kooks Paddle Out to watch !!!
Thanks for the footage!
Goodnight
That new gear is doing you well. Before reading your caption, first thing I thought was "This guys got the right lens." I know that distance well. Native San Diegan here. Mission Hills born n raised. Point Loma HS grad. Lived two streets behind Seasside market before moving out to Oahu about a decade ago. Keep up the good work Jimmy. It's always nice seeing my hometown going off!
Caught some flak on that one haha.
Hey, Keep It To Yourselves Snappaheads.
Appreciate that! Thanks!
Taylor with the strongest turns out there as usual. Crowds and Taylor, some things never change.
Awesome footage my dude and great commentary. That grom was impressive as hell. Ants getting washed was fun too. So much carnage
Thank you! Hyped people like it
I lived on I street in Encinitas 1969/70 and used to surf Swamis with small crowds and surfed Boneyard when it got crowded. The wave is awesome !!
Dang, they are way out there. Paddle out is pretty epic.
El Nino swell,I got a be out there😍♓👑
Thanks for sharing, I was on a 5'4" board and got 4 waves. Saw T Knox get punished in a barrel. Was all time out there!
Rad video , I like hearing whats going on over music any day. And so many wave seen in a short amount of time was epic. Thanks
More to come!
0:48 - who has priority? ALL OF US!
So ridiculously crowded!! Remember surfing Swamis in 1963, it would just be a few of us on a weekday, and still relatively chill on weekends. Looks dangerous!
If I had a dime for every person that's said ,"I remember surfing such and such in 19 yadayadayada".
@@jeffspicoli2742
You’d have $2.35
Because 23 and a half people have told you that .
Surfing is dead. Taken over by insane amounts of valley kooks like you and the dorks caught inside in this vid
I remember surfing Malibu in 1873, just me n my buddy Wyatt ‘Blunt Breath’ Earp.
@@tyson9419 hehehehe! 😆
Nice long period swell- I remember my Dad -( Wave Dave)- absolutely shacking himself when we lived in San Diego and was at UCSD- Early morning surf checks from the cliff- 🤘🤙
@ 2:45 ...The best 2min min. color commentary ever! -LOL ...People just gettin served ! It's holding for sure! ...those sneak sets though, laying waste to everyone
Haha glad you enjoyed that one
love that wave so mellow to get out, and easy to sweep into. not very top to bottom but can do some big arcing turns.

Good thing it wasn't crowded 😮
Wow, that is so crowded, good luck to the peaceful.
lol the twin fin 5’6” dudes caught a beating
The people/ surfers pedaling in the water look like birds or seals in the water. Humans are just another species on the planet. We're all in this together.
Thanks Jimmy that was epic! Bummed I missed but was fun to watch from the other side of the country.
Florida Man!
Awesome video! I grew up there from 1968 until 1994. Mi=ost similar day was the first El Nino on New Years day 1982. It was a lot like this day but bigger and less than half that crowd... Thanks again!
That paddle out is too much! Great footage!
Some good legit barrels were had that day wow.
love the commentary. good night, indeed. mo', please!
Thanks dude. Looks epic.
Looks a lot more manageable than sunset cliffs that day
Epic video, bro. What chaos.
Truly legendary commentator who made me laugh as hard as I could when describing those caught inside
Haha epic! Tomorrow’s video is even better
Swami's is one of the coolest spots in San Diego County. My parents took me in the 70s, and it has always been a favorite.
Surfer of the year award goes to my buddy Steve, when nobody was watching
My shoulders are tired just thinking about paddling out in that surf.
Wow. I don't surf, admire those who do. This was great filming. Thank you.
When I used to visit SD, my buddy from CV loved to surf at The Campground. After subs in Carlsbad, on the way back South, we'd stop in the median at Swami's, to watch a few sets if there was a swell. Even when it was this good, I don't remember many solo rides. Either things have changed there a bit, or my brain damage is acting up again.
Biggest long period swell at Swamis in two decades ? Anyone see Upper Trestles ?
Thanks JW for the footage. Good job bro !
They went from wholly fuck to Jesus Christ once those sets started rolling through.Total RESPECT for everyone that paddled !!!
HOLY Sh$t I don't know who that was at 4:42, but that off-the lip was absolutely pro level
Some great falling .... how exciting!
good stuff. looks like a lot of locals can handle it sizey, some nice big carves and bottom turns. crowd getting caught by the sets would be frustrating if you're trying to catch those sets. assume they are picking off the mid size waves that have some shape.
Epic footage--nice!
Swamis is such a workout
Made me think of my friends at the ragpile.
Hope you guys are well.
Loved the footage of all the carnage!
The Koura commentary was brilliant!
I REMEMBER when that was 'normal swamis' wave size
u can't tell me the ocean is not changing
FOR EVER "BIG WEDNESDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2005!!!!!!!!!! December 21, 2005 !!!!!!! Easy 15' and big 18'-20' AND HUGE 20' to 25"
cheers to all good people
My scariest surf session was at Swamis way back when , being farthest outside when a cleanup set came in, scratching out made it over three then the fourth caught me and got pounded by two more. That was was the end of my big wave career
Very CooL. Thanks .
Loved the commentary- wonder who the little scrappy guy is getting lots of waves in the clip
Wonder if Salispuedes lit up. Good stuff I never did surf Swamis, pretty much everywhere else from South Garbage to DMJs as an OC guy. Anyway thanks for posting curious how many spots were even surfable and what Blacks is doing.
The biggest surf I ever was in was at Swamis , I was the farthest outside when I saw this massive set coming, made it over the first two then caught two on the head. Scariest session for me ever
So glad I didn't try move to Cali with how many surfers are there. Good lord
Love the commentary!!
Jimmicane commentary is the best 😆🙌
Commentary is gold! 🤣👏
Ahhh yes …. The great SWAMII right hand 🌊 one of the great rights on California’s coast….. to the great Jimmy Mahoney the PREZ back in the90’s of it club….??? Where are you my brother…..???? Great wave…., but even a better GUY, hi Suzanne❤️
"People getting cleansed" some genius beat poet shit. Also, no thank you. Half the wave is done by the time you navigated the other duckies.
In the days of my youth I would surf there everyday.
Just Subscribed!!!Thank You!!!Great Work Mate!!!
Thank you! Trying to reach the amount to hopefully make a little money off these. The game has changed but I still love it
That paddle out is psycho.Thanks for the epic capture
isnt therr a slight channel?
The fleas are scrambling.....😮🍃
They give you a sticker for your board. It says been here. Best collection gets a hug.
Why I left SD
Yup, surfed it in the 90s, the locals boxed everybody else out. Great view from SRF though
Big and very close together. Ventura is insane today too. Keep an eye on your crew!
Nice backdoor cut backs
Yeah Jimmy!
"When in doubt, dont go out" - so many people should have stayed in. simple.
It’s a full yard sale in Encinitas- oh yea!
I was out there watching them. To old to surf these days...
Hey Jimmy, thanks for posting. Was so happy to be out at Boneyards .... on Wednesday :)
Looks like the freeway
Can't even surf the wave too many KOOKS out!!!
Nice Video brother, alohaaaa
3:01 they wouldn't have even lasted 5 minutes at OB in SF 🤣🤣🤣
No way to avoid crowds, even when it’s big
i was the only one out at my spot and it was pumping. i got smoked though. luckily i choose a good one before i tried to paddle back out and just took the rogue on the head lol
Great video
Sick footage Jimmy! 👍
OMG, what are all those black dots in the water???
thx bro. uppers same time very junked out and slightly smaller............
Gorgeous
man... NJ's big swell put ours to shame
2:30 is great.
Good 2 see
Bro fuck surfing waves this size when it’s that packed
Right Rippin shooosh!
Your perspective was a good one. Where were you posted up? It shows the size better, cause your shooting into the barrel.
North county's 'almost' point wave.
11:00 people out on a 6' fish, wow 😢
Good stuff
Swamis maxin. CA just pumping North to South. Winter Rules
Man, that wasn't just a zoo out there but an anthill...spend more time dodging the traffic than surfing. Everybody must be converging on one of the few places that can handle the larger waves. Pipes (San Elijo) reef next door must have been a wall of water all the way to Cardiff. Going out to cali to visit in a few days and hope to see some waves. Not a Local but grew up in 80s going to all the North County spots.
Probably 75% should not have paddled out.
The commentary is the best part 😆 Did you get a look @ Cardiff Reef on this swell? Any good?
I didn’t get a good look in the evening but I bet there were some crazy bombs
The turn at 4:43. Yeeeeew
