12/28/2023 The Massive Swell to Remember!

 

What a way to kick off the end of 2023! Huge surf firing up and down the west coast, hitting all over California! Check out these epic waves and the swell to remember! 


Massive winter swell arrives in Southern California and Blacks Beach is pumping and perfect! Raw footage of 2 Kooks (Kalani Robb & Tyler Stanaland), Tanner Gudauskas and more scoring big clean waves and conditions on 12-28-23.


What an absolute trip to be home in New Jersey for the biggest swell I've ever seen & end up in California for this Historic Blacks Beach XXL San Diego 20-25ft Surf forecast. According to Surfline the San Pedro buoy reached a whopping 16.7ft @ 18 seconds, the biggest ever recorded since the buoy was installed in 2004. The swell is potentially getting bigger today so wish me luck & I can't wait to share the vlogs! FOR THE DREAM!! - Ben Follow Us on Instagram: @bengravyy @jverni_


SAN DIEGO'S BEST BIG WAVE SURFING SPOT Happy New Year! We are excited to share our another episode from this historic run of swell we had last week in San Diego. La Jolla Cove took the spotlight on Saturday December 30th. Surfline forecasted this day to have surf up to 15 to 18 foot faces. Cheers to a prosperous 2024!

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.


The end of the year in California is getting some exciting wave action. A large swell has come in and is smashing into the coast heavily in the northern breaks. Surfline forecasted 20-25 ft waves, and these looked every bit as big as the 25-30's i've seen at Mavericks. Obviously nothing compares to the legendary big wave spot on a good day, but small handful of Santa Cruz surfers had a treat by way of some XL surf today. Thanks for watching.


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.

Pumping Waves at the World Famous Malibu Pier aka Surfrider. This was shot and edited entirely on December 28th 2023 by Chris Papaleo aka Salty Beards. Featuring all the local pro surfers such as Luke Davis, Andrew Jacobson and many, many more.


Probably the best-shaped wave in the Palos Verdes area, Haggerty's takes all north and west swells from 3 to 15 feet and grooms them into a classic left point/reef with three different takeoff zones.
