Drone footage of Newport Beach’s Wedge as it goes wild with largest swell of summer season.

The same southern hemisphere swell already caused a buzz in the surf world last week when it produced bombing waves in Tahiti and then Hawaii, sending a tidal wave of footage to flood social media of the world’s best wave riders tackling the massive surf.
Now, it’s Southern California’s turn, big waves have been showing up across the region, from the South Bay to San Clemente and beyond, but especially at the Wedge.
“Wow, these guys are brave,” Erin Slessor said as surfers, bodyboarders, bodysurfers and skimboarders tried to figure out how to tackle the beast. “And a little crazy.”

Very nice video. NB was home for several years as a young guy. The Wedge is a famous spot for surfers.

While it didn't look small, I don't think what I see in the video would be considered THAT huge.

Small day, high tide. If it were big the crowd would be ten times bigger.
