A little bit to the left of those rocks we used to tie a rope from one side to the other and there would be dozens of us hanging on the rope while the waves rammed through the rocks... If you'd let go you could have died.... I got swept once and almost drowned but I know people that have died there where people call it "La compartidura" the compartment and also a tall rock to the right called EL CORSARIO which fills a huge hole with water and it goes up and down as the waves come in... This brings me back memories on how we waited for storms or hurricanes just to go to the beach and play russian roulette with our lives just for fun. Damn
The scale of the ocean is unfathomably large. My father once sailed from St John's, NL to Toronto through the gulf of the St Laurence. One minute you're sitting at the bottom of a canyon and UT appears as though you will be engulfed by a wave the size of an apartment building, and the next the water undulates and you sit at the peak of a mountain staring down at the depths below. I did not have the constitution to take that trip with him. The images in my mind alone are absolutely breathtaking and in real life I'm sure up felt like a nightmare of inimaginable scale
whenever i hear waves described like that, i think about the early explorers in their lil sailboats traversing through giants the likes of which they'd never even dared to imagine
Amazing that no one on the beach seems in awe or even surprised except the woman filming...they have clearly seen this too many times. That is so awesome. Bucket list.
Hello. This is my video and I'm curious what brought you here to see it. Was it posted online somewhere or did you just trip across it here on RUclips?
I’m from PR and some of our beaches have strong waves like that on the daily. For Locals is pretty normal so they don’t leave unless there’s a storm coming.
At the moment you said 'wow', I thought that was it, wow indeed, but then the rest came. Fantastic vid, and you zoomed out at the right moment :) Loved it. Thank you.
@MICHAEL JOHNSON J I know it…time has passed quickly. This video went viral the first time, years ago and I didn’t even know it had happened. I think it got 11 million views before I even knew it. I think I realized it a year or two afterward.
@@wonwoostastyturnsdelicious9341 its an island so there's always waves lol but I think they aren't scared cus of the coral wall that protects us from the ocean 😅
Brings back memories. I was born and raised in Isabela and moved out back in 2001. I remember my baseball team would always hit this same spot after a big win to celebrate. To the left of this section is a more open beach. This section is great though if you have kids though.
WOW. The way the ocean was moving behind that wall reminds me of a dmt trip. So strong you can barely handle it, yet once you enter, it's full of wonders and treasures that demand respect because it's so beautiful
@@andrewcramer3690 Dont worry. You'll overcome. I've been on countless dmt trips and, yes it gets scary, but I overcome and end up loving those dmt horrors. Why?, because it's the same thing our ancestors overcame to be as great as they were. And when you overcome those types of fears it gives you something in return. Soul Enlightenment. Normal horrifying experiences in our lives are horrifying without taking dmt, so when you conquer the most horrifying (dmt), you learn to fear nothing (only instinctive fear) and to learn from fear and appreciate not worrying
Sometimes we take for granted things we see all the time... I grew up next to this rock... Haven't been back in over 25yrs. Remember playing in that pond next to the beach you cant see to the left...
@@captainnoob4 it’s from an episode of the show Seinfeld where George pretends to be a marine biologist and has to rescue a whale with a golf ball stuck in its blow hole. Copy/paste the quote in google and you’ll get the reference.

when tide is low, you can follow a sand path between the shore and pool to climb up. LOW TIDE! the rocks are very sharp, and you can be knocked down at the top there are many small wooden crosses in memory of people who have jumped and died. miss this place, thanks for the upload :)
The best beach in Vega Baja. I feel very proud of that place in my country, FROM PUERTO RICO TO THE WORLD!!. The other cool thing about that stone wall is that there is a small spot where you can sit. When the tides hits the stone wall, the small waterfall formed hits you in the shoulders and is a perfect therapy for the pain in the neck and shoulders. You must go there and sit, to have an awesome experience.
*****, lol. That natural barrier is huge in height, length and depth, but some seasons the waves behind it crashes on it making the water run over the top of that barrier making some sort of waterfall but not harmful. You have to go there and see it with your own eyes. Highly recommended place.
That is unreal. I climbed onto that rock today. I couldn't imagine the waves getting big enough to cover over those massive rocks. 16 million views and the poor lady in the white is in a very unflattering spot, LOL.
Esas marejadas son en la playa de puerto nuevo de mi pueblo natal Vega Baja, Puerto Rico. Las observaba frecuentemente durante los meses de enero y febrero. Muchos gratos recuerdos.
As a teenager one night 40 years ago we went fishing to the top of those rocks and all of a sudden, the sea threw a massive wave at us that almost swept us off... we got lucky that it did not. This year I went back to film with a drone on mother's day and recorded the clearest water I have ever seen on the most beautiful day ( video is on my channel )
Is there a name for a phobia of giant oncoming waves of water you can't run away from? I have so many dreams about absolutely massive inescapable waves coming for me. This video...triggered that a little. Damn lol
Yeah…. Don’t know the Scientific name, but the Kind of Fear I had during my 1st Tax Audit. Actually Large Waves means you’re really not ready to handle or expect for a GREAT Positive Event coming your way. If you’re a landlocked- a Giant wall of SAND is Bad News! Then, Wake Up Fast!!
It's in the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico. That beach is ocated on the north coast, in Vega Baja, about 45 minutes west of the capital city, San Juan,
What is truly amazing is how much better these old YT videos are. No 30 second intro sequences, no manic salesmanship, just cool stuff.

Lady sitting in the foreground sipping her margarita, blissfully unaware. Classic.
She’s a local guaranteed
Tourists: “Hey lady, you’re missing it.”
Lady: (sips drink): ‘I ain’t missing nothing!’
Was just about to mention that ... totally oblivious, thinking they're chearing for her to chug her drink 🤣
I could only wish to duplicate such solitude whilst the world ends. 😉
Why be judgemental, she is enjoying the many other things life has to offer.
I am actually more interested in the scene behind that wall. Those wave are freaking huge.
😯😯
Try to search for 2011 waves in Japan. It may be not impressive from beginning but it gets scary to the end.
if a large asteroid or comet hits the ocean then you have huge wave (problems)

Its just camera zoom effect
women who own a good quality camera 11 years ago, nice stability, great cinematic shot ...hats off to her..
People: "Aww..that one wave only barely made it over the rocks"
Poseidon: "Oh you want the smoke?!"
This must be the greatest natural pool on earth.
Because you saw it on a trending YT video and want free likes? There’s plenty better than this Stfu
Glad your taking a stance on this very important topic. Definitely the right hill to die on.
Sounds like he’s just after some free likes

Paolo Lorrai thanks for sharing that info
I’m just amazed how little reaction anyone seems to have even as Mother Nature increases her forces lol.
That is what made me nervous. Either way their reaction resembles the reaction of moat towards more frequent natural disasters
We are just human 😮💨🤷♂️
@@bvssrsguntur6338 it happened 11 years ago.

That scares the living hell out of me, I've got something of a big wave phobia......weird thing is, I surf.
It's cause we've been in the washing machine!
I totally understand you, i sail and im terrified of the ocean, but i have to sail.
same
@@Gardureth ah man thank goodness there's someone else out in the world like me! Happy sailing and stay safe.
Same bro
All that's missing is a Jet Skier riding the top of the wave, over the wall, into the Pool.
.....Red Bull. It gives you Wings.
I love how the girl in the white just doesn't give a shit. "Huh? Wave? whatever."
I've dreamt of this place, and I've never seen it or knew it existed until right now.. strange.
Same! That’s Actually scary!
That place looks amazing
No what's really amazing is people don't realize how big they can get so fast ...exit exit exit
That is amazing! There is so much power in that water it is just amazing.
Love this,nothing can stop nature!!
Spectacular! I am Puerto Rican , and I wish I could be there too!
Hi just curious. Are those huge waves normal? Coz they don't seem to be too bothered by them???
@@wonwoostastyturnsdelicious9341 its an island so there's always waves lol but I think they aren't scared cus of the coral wall that protects us from the ocean 😅
Counting the time in between waves looks like a 17 second swell period which translates to very large waves and a very distant storm system.
This is most likely a nor eastern storm sweel off the east US hitting the north coast.
"Hey kids, don't worry. We can just watch and see if it gets to a point that these waves wipe us out. No. Don't run. Let's enjoy it." 🤣🤣🤣
Those people are so lucky and blessed!
Esa es la playa más linda de mi pueblo de Vega baja es muy bellísima y la de manatí.👍👍💖💖🇵🇷💯🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
Bateu aquela vontade de conhecer o lugar... tem muito lugar lindo no mundo!
That was amazing footage. Reminds me so much of Isabela. Villa Pesquera and Playa Pastillo have that same rock formation. Thank you for posting.
That's some crazy waves right there. I wouldn't want to chill on the big rocks to check out the ocean x'D
Respect the power of nature.

Woman: "wowww, look at that."
Me, an intellectual: " *BITCH LETS GO* "

Oh I can't wait to go back to my home beach in May!!!!! I love it!!
It's a gorgeous island!!
Vivo en Puerto Rico, pero ver ese mar detras de las rocas me espanta.
awesome... but at first I would have shitted in my pants thinking of a tsunami...
Tsunamis are various shallow waves
WOW. The way the ocean was moving behind that wall reminds me of a dmt trip. So strong you can barely handle it, yet once you enter, it's full of wonders and treasures that demand respect because it's so beautiful
Joe Rogan would be proud.
The last dmt trip I was on was absolutely horrifying
@@andrewcramer3690 Dont worry. You'll overcome. I've been on countless dmt trips and, yes it gets scary, but I overcome and end up loving those dmt horrors.

Beautiful but frightening❣
Sometimes we take for granted things we see all the time... I grew up next to this rock...
Haven't been back in over 25yrs.
Remember playing in that pond next to the beach you cant see to the left...
Very few places can boast a beach like this. When the waves are calmer all you get are those waterfalls everywhere. Spectacular during high tide.
Wow!! I'll have to go to this beach this summer. Amazing.
Did you ever make it there?
The sea was angry that day, my friends. Like an old man trying to send back soup, in a deli.
Lol came here looking for this comment. Thanks

MARAVILHA DA NATUREZA!
Wow what an awesome sight.
It Went From Water To Looking Like Snow Covered Mountains.
We used go to this beach since I was a kid while we lived in Puerto Rico at the time. Good memories.
You fly 3000 miles to Baja California from Puerto Rico...to go to the beach..??

What’s a good family resort or hotel to stay at that’s close to this beach??
I'm amazed those walls still hold up
That is an amazingly beautiful beach..
The lady in the for ground is oblivious to what's happening behind her. She's there to relax and nothing will get in her way.
I bet that Bodi from "Point Break" and Lt. Kilgore from "Apocalypse Now" were out there surfing.
If the locals aren't worried, I won't worry. When the locals start running, grab your kids and move!
That is one of the coolest beaches I’ve ever seen(on video)
Very cool, you can tell who the locals are they don't even really acknowledge the wave....but I love very cool.
That's cool you have to love it🤗🤗🤗👍👍
am I the only one more focused on lady wearing white, eating, drinking and not giving a crap about whatever is happening behind her?

The girl in the deck chair with her back to the waves. How chilled is she :)
great video _
La isla del encanto !!!
One Day I will visit....
That is terrifying! I would've run at the first wave!
This beach is really unique and beautiful
Take your big screen wherever you go with Digiball the digital computer ball... It bounces too! XD ruclips.net/video/32NGWUIwDJE/видео.html
That’s Awesome Dude.,.,.
Very nice short but effective film. Hope I get a chance to visit. Thanks.
At first I'm like, that's nothing. Then I see the final wave and I'm like woah that wave was massive.
Definitely a hurricane swell.
That lady is the perfect example of deaf.
Thats beautiful man
It's in the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico. That beach is ocated on the north coast, in Vega Baja, about 45 minutes west of the capital city, San Juan,

It’s well worth a visit when on the island. It’s a very unassuming part of PR. A bit off the typical tourist areas.
Right?!
A Natureza é impressionante!
For those wondering, this beach is located on a small island called PuertoRico
❤❤❤❤🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
Not a single person there is phased at all. I would be ✨panicking✨
freaking awesome! Any more of these kind of vids to recommend pls!??!!?
11 years later we meet again youtube algorithm. 👋
I never new this place existed and I'm PR 🇵🇷🐸
This is beautiful. 💕
We'll meet again 10 years from now when YT recommends this
You cant stop what cant be stopped. this is one of those tings
Holy Cow!!!! Those waves are huge and the breakwall was probably put there to create the pool.
Ocean be like 'enjoy your little cove while these rocks last me'
I was waiting for a massive wave to wipe them all off the beach.
A Natureza é muito grandiosa!
Nature's power is mesmerizing
Meanwhile I'm in Wisconsin in December freezing my baguettes off.
i wonder if the wave has ever chipped off a big rock and lauched it at someone.
That's some wave!😳
