Watching Footage from the swell never gets old man. Thanks for the upward. I was out at El Moro on this day and it was just unreal like everywhere in OC that day
That break is EPIC AND VERY BIG about 3-5 times a year. I can remember days waking up hearing what sounded like distant thunder on a sunny morning to find waves double overhead + with thick square barrels. Sometimes a line of cameras on tripods like pipeline. The best part was not crowded in the water. So many were afraid to paddle out and surf . They were not closed out and inside those were like a different place with the sound and air pressure. Best barrel rides I ever had were California Pipeline/The Point. It takes a big south from the right angle through a deep channel. Newport Road Island is the spot.
Maybe I'm just goofy, but there's something hilarious about the paddle boarder @ 0:59 and his silhouette riding the horizon pulling a deep stroke in the water.
Ya I know, he is also friend of mine, so I’m totally bummed. I was shooting directly into the sun. I was watching him close when he went over a wave, so I shot the surfer in front of him, then I saw him catch the wave in my peripheral. I tracked him but with the glare off the white wash he was hard to see. I was actually tracking just in front of him. It was a sick barrel too
The music track to the Newport surf is the coolest / why don't we hear more music like that for surf film. ( Stones zy sound) Keith R guitar like... Luv it
ive seen newport and huntington both breaking close to half mile of shore at low tide during giant swells. paddling out sucks if you dont time it right your going to take 20 on the head and be exhausted before you catch a single wave. I havent lived in california for over 20 years im sure some things have changed seems like there alot of elnino years now which was really un heard of back in the 70s and 80s
The Point used to fire like this every summer in the late 70's and 80's. If you cruz some of the old surf shops in Newport some of them have old pictures of some epic surf like this from back in the day..
Some epic days at Malibu too: 10-12' at first point and not that crowded. Weather was ugly. It was in August '72. It was huge up until midday but faded to nothing overnight. The chibasco that caused the surf dissipated off Catalina quickly.
Ive newport and huntington both breaking between 1/4 and a half mile out at low tide during big swells in the 80s. it wasnt uncommon to see waves breaking evn with or just past the end of the pier when the tide was at its lowest . if the swell was 15 ft of more. usually big mushy peaks that would double up inside and become big hollow close outs. Newport never peeled like im seeing here usually the wind would just be too offshore
Doheny faces SE taking a direct hit during hurricane Marie and was massive. Waves breaking over the outside breakwall into the harbor. Easily 10 - 15ft Hawaiian with many people calling it 25ft which is what I agree with because I was out there. Fricken massive and scary at Do-Ho. LOL It was a first in my lifetime.
The right is seriously better a lot of times there. Idk what ever made me think it was an actual left point. 👏 (the goal for 2020 is three bowls at Newps)
+Liam O'Callaghan Thats Daniel Hughs. I was watching him in the on the video display while looking directly into the sun. Unfortunately I was tracking just in front of him. I left the clip in the video anyway, he killed it.
When ever the waves get bigger then 8 foot in Newps it breaks way out side fools. If your surfing the Streets 28th to 56th and your sitting in the line up, the jetties look like a small pile of rocks. Be sure when you take off playing the jetty game you don't end up on top of them. I have seen surf comrades surfers studs get pretty beat up buy them. If you have big balls you'll just pass up the streets and head south to 18th st (AKA) "The Point" on a Big South Swell. I prefer getting my ass kicked north of 56th street to the River jetties. Have fun and see you in the water Boyz. 714phillipe.
Yep, Randy saved me after hitting my head on the Jetty. Got hit by a bad pitchback take off. Hit my head so hard my tooth chipped! This is why you should always surf with a friend!
the fuck? you ever been to a california beach? the water flows down from the north pacific so that even at the height of summer it stays in the 60s. most of the year it's in the 50s.
I came out to Cali to surf at 18 in 1980 from Jersey and surfed all winter at Rincon with just a vest (had no money, spent it all on beer). It was a bit cold at 8:00 am paddling out in the morning in the fog with the water 55 degrees in January/feb.

Lived right there for a short time in the 70's . .with my mom and brothers, .it's all different now . . Some days just so good and no people .
Hell yes, I remember... huge epic swell.
Exit a wave and you've got a 20' set coming right at you. Ouch.
20 foot?
Maybe 8-9.
+DaniEl Ben Freeman 20 foot faces
Felicia Goat average lol no it’s not
Nobody knows how to surf in Newport!
In Hawaii we call this 6 to 8 foot but wannabe surfers in Newport Beach call it 25 foot LOL
how did you miss that SUP barrel so bad? terrible
Ya I know, he is also friend of mine, so I’m totally bummed. I was shooting directly into the sun.

Agreed! That SUP came from deep, I don't know what the cameraman was focusing on.
+dretot maybe read the comment above you dumbass
Daniel Hughes
That's some clean Point, but it gets a LOT BIGGER than that.
It does and cleaner too.
I'm pretty sure the best barrel that day was the one you missed of Daniel Hughes on the SUP at 2:14 lol
Normally this area breaks much closer to shore. And this swell just hammered the sand bars.

My hometown !!!
15th - 18th = can be 'soul crushers' when time is right

That is when I surfed most in So Cal when I lived on 22nd street. 1976 was epic!
The old photos in the TK burger on 23rd St. of days that were back in the 70s and 80s were just absolutely macking.
saw newport in 72 reach 22ft + at 22nd st
+rob mckinnon i was down south lifeguarding in San Diego beaches where it was not that big but yep! big
rob mckinnon Was it '74 or '76 when the coast guard boat chased us out of the line up surfing the point?
Some epic days at Malibu too: 10-12' at first point and not that crowded. Weather was ugly. It was in August '72. It was huge up until midday but faded to nothing overnight. The chibasco that caused the surf dissipated off Catalina quickly.
I thought that fast forward was gonna make me have a mind break.

My favorite place to surf from the late 60's thru the 80's. You should've been there in winter of '69
AMAZING
Reminds me of the 90s
Carmen Elecktra, and Dennis Rodmen, lived there..
whats the song?
Wow a lot of guys getting caught in the tunnel!
Super fine!!
The right is seriously better a lot of times there. Idk what ever made me think it was an actual left point. 👏 (the goal for 2020 is three bowls at Newps)
Jez ya's love a drop in over there.
best maxed out waves ever
I wonder how big wedge was on that swell?
Sick!!!!
@ 1:04 way to go soul bruddah. Longboard or at least an egg. Stylin...
This SUP guy was awesome to watch.
+Liam O'Callaghan

wish va beach had waves like this...
Keep wishing
Who would thumbs down this!
This was the smaller day.
What is the name of the song? That sh*t slams!
Classic California.
That guy on the sup was charging.

Wow that's crazy I didn't know that. God bless Randy.
Me being one of them. 52nd street 1991. Ouch!
That was a mile and half at least. You could barely see it!!!
mui pronto olas
Song?
I had to change the song from original for copyright reasons.
I like the song i was hoping for the name of it
too many haters in the comments
bobby oxfiest what is your style? ha ha ha *1:43
also there is a freakishly huge reef about 1/2 or 1/4 miles out from Newport i believe
what kinda reef
1:30 say whaaat
Truly the pipeline of California!
lotsa places do
Everybody dropping on everybody fuck that
Shared wave at 1:30. Legit claim.
song is dope
hurricane maria2014 trestles on bib teusesday 4 guys out big mean bombs
Dude this video was fucking awesome
Bad camera work
just terrible filming
I'm glad you were there to film yourself. Weres your footage? Fuckin cry babies.
That song is painful to listen to
+Johnson Beyer giggle. i guess if you love Blink 182 it would be
Turn volume down.
Lol. Waters 72 degrees and all these farmbars are wearing fullsuits
the fuck? you ever been to a california beach? the water flows down from the north pacific so that even at the height of summer it stays in the 60s. most of the year it's in the 50s.
oldfrend hah...I live down in SD. It is not in the 50s most of the year -- and during Marie it was hovering around the low 70s for sure
During a huge swell event the water will often cool due to "upwelling". I've seen lower trestles fairly uncrowded due to unexpected chilly water.
Obviously has never surfed in So Cal.
I came out to Cali to surf at 18 in 1980 from Jersey and surfed all winter at Rincon with just a vest (had no money, spent it all on beer). It was a bit cold at 8:00 am paddling out in the morning in the fog with the water 55 degrees in January/feb.
Terrible camerawork, weak editing and horrible dreary music, Otherwise awesome conditions!!
horrible music
