Lunada Bay Palos Verdes | Biggest LA Surf since last Winter
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 дек 2023
- The biggest surf to hit CA since last Jan '23 hit today. The next swell is on track for the weekend and is likely to be in the same size class. Swell direction looks even more west, so SoCal could be a little bigger than Thu/Fri.

When I was a kid (70s), almost all the surfing films/footage were of Hawaii. I was really starved for California footage, but I understood that filming these spots was not feasible. Now I just open the laptop and enjoy the highlights from THAT day. Ha! I guess I sound like an old man. Anyway, thanks for the great footage.
I just turned sixty seven grew up Surfing in hawaii So I really know where you're coming from. ! Aloha, and Happy New Year to you and your family.❤ P S My middle name is Ralph.😊
It’s extremely crazy how fast the technology got to where it is! I’m in my 30s and still can’t believe the advances I’ve seen in my life. A blessing if used correctly 🙏❤️✝️ God bless you brother, I pray you have an amazing day!
California has had huge swells in the past . Im From the 80s but this if definitely one of the biggest swells I can remember .
Back in the day, Lunada Bay locals were known to give handies behind the Admiral Risty for $20 when their monthly trust fund check ran out.
You got ripped off! I got mine for $4 bucks and a cigarette!
😂😂😂😂
I know this is an inside joke, but I just peed myself laughing
What do we want to know that F***** Shit for you Moron!!!
You sound like an authoritative figure on the subject. A giver?,...or receiver were you not?😂
Shout out for calling wave size accurately. So many surf videos greatly exaggerate the size of waves.
In all the footage I've ever seen of Lunada until now, it looked pretty mushy. I knew it could hold more size...but I didn't know that it ever had a critical section where the lip pitched out like at many of the more renowned spots. It really is a formidable big wave and I have a *tiny* bit more sympathy for the locals now.
the location adds on. 'open ocean' power and a river of a current.
😂😂😂
I learned to surf here in 01, could never have imagined it looking like this.
Went by there today! Big crowds watching when the waves are pumping. All was mellow and no fights! Cops were on standby.
Thanks for the footage John. Much appreciated.
Yes PV is the spot..well known and always a fav by many. Great vid and scenes.
I like these videos better without music, great job!
I’m not fond of the music either. I much prefer silence or the occasional comments by the videographer.
yeah the sound of the surf is perfect for this video, nice footage of lunada bay, and a few good rides.
Thanks for posting
I surfed this place by myself several times in the 70s and 80s when I was born Imy folks had a place right down the street,well it was more open back then,but ended growing up north laguna,and la jolla, those are some big waves thank you for the video, I always showed up by myself I never got hassled once, to me it was just like my breaks except different . But I get where the boys are coming from, so.Cal.is overrun hold your ground protect what's yours . I'm not going anywhere . All the best
Mahalo for the LB footage. Yeah, previous local crew would be after you for it. Nothing secret in Cali anymore, a million surfers, drones everywhere, secrecy is done. Treat everyone with respect. LB and a ton of other spots are all worthy on big swells. Hope the swell last so you can film more 🏄
Than you for the awesome footage. I am up in Oregon on vacay and love it when the giant swells hit the South Bay, especially Lunada. Epic waves, epic filiming.
Really???😂😂😂
That looks world class who saw this thick of waves in so cal in a while
Surf's up, dude! Friggin massive waves 🏄
Lived in Redondo surfed rat beach , Malaga cove and lunada bay in the 80's I surfed 10-15 footers out there and it was the best times surfing in my life.i only got that chance a few times but I'll never forget.Looks so good I'm sweating 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙 sudberry
Cali lookin small'kine like Hanalei???
Stunning footage! Mahalo!
Impressive to handle that size.
Got the wave of a lifetime at the Bay in 1982…RIP Sal
Great drone footage .👍😎
Great footage. Thanks! I love that ppl were calling this 25-30'(!!!!) at Blacks lol....
Props on being humble about the size.
Super epic. Wish I’d of been there ❤🎉
Lucky we Earthlings can experience the raw power and beauty of it.
Great shots John. Some of the waves gotta be 20’ Plus
Nice to see PVS in action ❤
This looks great can someone share a pin can’t wait to surf there - I assume the locals are welcoming ? 🎉
😂
Hahaaa
Dude Lunada Bay! The Bay Bois LOVE meeting new people! Due to the rocks, It’s a great spot for soft tops! When you get out to the peak, find someone who knows the place really well, & stay close! Also ask lots of advice! Finally, don’t be a kook! Yew 🤙
Yeah I showed up today with my sprinter van full of USC first year surfers and our softops. The locals greeted us with coffee n donuts!
Breaks like this 30 days a year in NorCal, and we don’t have to deal with the jerks living off of daddy‘s money
Awesome Montage. Looks surprisingly calm and peaceful. I was out at Rincon that day. #RinconBigThursday
Rincon was almost as big, and super critical.🤙🏼
You are so cool. Name some more spots!
Beautiful footage, loved the drone shots. Hope to surf there one day, on a smaller day lol
Yeah bring a surf class with you
@@goofyfoot7106
?
very nice great waves
Nice RightZ!!!
Pumping dirty waves 🤙
Impressive Waves, can't say the same about the surfers. So these are the notorious Lunada Bay Locals? I watched for over 3 minutes and didn't see one turn. WOW, you guys RIPPPP, haaaa.
Hey, it’s ok man. Not everybody can have the balls to paddle out there. Just like we need women in wartime to replenish supplies, we also need the critics and audience to watch from the shore. You still are fulfilling an essential role.
@@haveaday1812if you're one of these bay boyz you're a fuckin kook
@@haveaday1812Somebody’s gotta tell them they suck.
@@haveaday1812 - from the shore? I surfed Black's yesterday. It was plenty big. Where did you surf? I hope you are one of those idiot locals that thinks they rip. Cuz now everyone got to see all you can do is go straight. And women in wartime for supplies... nice example, sounds like something a caveman would say or grunt.
@@vf5536 You’d be the first idiot to get rescued 100% if you had the balls to even attempt it. Same as with the other guy, stay on shore. The world needs critics.
Never saw so many guys in SoCal with Waimea guns
feel like a lot of the older pv guys have them
I can see why the Palos Verdes crew is protective over this wave.
She is a fine wave at size and that is an orderly lineup, unlike swarmi's and other spots that are unregulated and dont even break as well ...looks like Waimea bay on the big ones.
Much respect to the chargers and PV crew.
Happy 2024
Nice! Heading there in the morning with about 15 friends of mine, should be fun
Nice videos
Lunada Bay can handle a huge swell. Localism here has died out considerably especially when it’s big
How did it get so crowded out there?
Thank you for sharing and posting. Hopefully you won't get jumped by the Lunada Bay Locals for Posting. 😂😂😂
Ha! Literally LOL
Most are in old folks homes now
They’re the biggest kooks in LA.
The old guard at Lunada still trying to regulate ??
Kinda, talked to a surfer last winter that got hassled pretty good.
@@JEK Thnx, keep up the great work. Remember we live vicariously through you sometimes with all of the great footage!
Pretty darn good footage from that far away. Not including the drone footage of course but were you shooting all the way back from the cliffs?
Yes edge of the cliffs.
Greg Noll surfed at lunada bay theres a picture of him on a surf album big close out wave
Looks like an easy drop in.
I'm more curious about that other A-frame around the point
clean
Everybody went surfing, Surfing USA!
massive ~
check out all that whitewater churn. can you say "hold down"?
I used to surf LB back in the '60s.
Epic, Alohaaa
some of those guys should go to mavericks, I bet they could handle it
2:55 Nice ride.
I would chicken out. Use to boogie board many years ago
Looks much better than Swami's!
OMG why did you cut it at 2:15 ?? I was dying to see how that next wave steamrolled the crew inside taking the first one on the head… dang…
You shoulda seen Rincon!
I think Brad Jacobson is there
Biggest waves I can remember there?
These guys guard this place hard-core to go out it's best to have a known local with you
Oooooohh scary… they sound pretty tough. 😲😆
They are cowards and kooks that suck at surfing. thats why
Legit. Was Haggerty's handling the swell or too north?
Stay tuned, may check in on that and Indicator. Sat. looks interesting.
it was pumping
Damn
NICE :)
Exhilarating…!
I highly recommend you come down and surf this spot. It is a good place to learn to surf as well.
Because i was from Socal, all i knew about this break was the locals chucked rocks at you. ROFL
Biggest surf since LAST winter is right. We get surf like this about once a year. Sometimes for a couple of days others a week or two.
They claim El Niño yet this is coming from the North, not the south and the water is normal winter temps.
lots of shoulder hopping going on, isnt the real wave behind the point anyway?
My friend died there in 1978. They think his board tag his head and knocked him out.
No Bay Boy Mob?
Cleanest Big Wave on the West Coast..
Ehhh, dunno bout that… some stiff competition up and down from Todos to OR coast.
yeah wtf is he talking about@@brodiwheeler7583
hokayy buddy
Opinions are like buttholes
Looks a bit unsettled ,with 8 -10 mph offshore way cleaner.
As far as locals go I handled that with a few 350 lb.friends a bottle of mezcal and a 12 pack of bud .
We celebrated with a campfire and chilli dogs afterwards . 1973
I suck at surfing
No one owns the ocean
Too bad SoCal beaches couldn't have waves like this year-round.
bring back the club house,...with a sign [ peace on land ! prove yourself in the water] but the club house was very cool
what a mushy slow wave
Softest waves for the hardest surfers
Wrong, kook. I drove up and surfed it. Your comment is especially laughable considering you've got a video of yourself surfing the Surf Ranch on a log and can't even get a barrel on the easiest barrel on the planet. You could stand to lose about 30lbs and maybe be able to paddle into an inside one at Lunada. You win donkey of the week. Congratulations.
Man, almost very video I have seen of this swell, the very first wave is somebody dropping in on somebody else. At all spots. This really is a pandemic of kooks.
I wonder if the breakwater was working.
It was!
How was Porto ?
Didn't go, I'm sure Brad Jacobson was on it
U guys are such kooks.
How was Porto???
HaHaHa🤣
Porto potty was pumping perfect pipeline peelers. Peter packed plenty while Patricia rocked Petty in the parking lot, smoking pakalolo with her lips pursed on her purple pipe.
So can you duck dive a gun? Seems like a brutal paddle out otherwise.
As far as I am concerned this place is really a better wave than that Big drop get to the shoulder then in fattens out MAVERICKS!! Shit wave if you just like taking off nothing else to do 🥴🥴🥴
These are bigger than 15ft, more like 20+.
12 foot brah
I grew up surfing all over PV in the 70's. I worked at the local surf shop and was a local at all the breaks,. Theres a few good days but generally it kinda sucks, its over crowded, overly aggressive, and just not that great.
Kanoa Surf Shop?
@@cycologist7069 yup
@@jtgeology If I recall, there was a Schwinn bike shop next door.
That's 15ft hawaiin- 20-25 ft+ faces
Keep Lunada Local
Yep. still a bunch of kooks there at that spot. I remember a bunch of kooks there smashing cars they didnt recognize. One of them was Kelly slaters rental most likely. but they smashed his windows.
That one dude who was under gunned and doest like non locals finally caught one should of not left my gun at the surf shop o well nice sets,,,, who?
mush city ......
As anyone can see, the shape of the wave is terrible. It's more of a novelty spot cuz it hardly ever breaks. It looks to me like these locals are total kooks!
Nobody is really ripping. Kooks are struggling to make the weird bumby shoulder. much rather go down to swamis, cardiff or blacks ...
Even big trestles is way more rippable than tired lunada. I'll drive up to Oxnard and keep heading north to Tarantula's at Jalama.
You'll never catch these lunada kooks up there....the wave is hollow.
Newport was wayyy better than this burger of a wave,they can have it
Easy 20'......
Is California amazing, or what?
The nature is, everything else is crap
Bay Boys are gonna love this… not
Why do Californians always jump to unnecessarily long boards???
Glad to see the cops there. Might keep the surf nazis at bay.
Amazing footage, too bad the place is overrun by a bunch of 🤡.
Lunada Bay is very racist, including most of the YT people in Palos Verdes, the locals there for years would beat up and harass people, especially minorities who would tried to surf there or even just to view the waves. I grew up in Redonde beach the city over and got into several fist fights in my youth trying to surf over there!
I’m gonna be starting my Lunada Bay Boat-In Surf tours this year. Meals included. Sign up here!
Hold down looks like death
