Which spot would you like to surf Waimea Or a very rare wave at Seal Beach? Check it out: 


The waves get massive here in Hawaii with what is for sure the biggest swell this season. A lot of people went to Jaws but I decided to stay here and surf Waimea bay with @JJF and @eliolson6346 In this video i'll explain how we are able to survive surfing massive waves!

This long run of big surf in Southern California has been so good that even spots which haven't broke for decades came alive! I'm incredibly luck to have caught this because changes are this place will not break again for decades. Thanks for watching. I'm Brad Jacobson and I'll sea ya on the sand.



This is mostly just big picture shots of the swell this month January 2023. Southern California got some historic levels of swell and spots that never work turned on! Drone footage of the coast and swell. I got a little bit of footage of Chris Pantane @wrxp36 @insanepatane and Bo Bridges @BoBridgesPhotography @bobridges doing tow ins 2 miles out at esther oil platform. All shot on my little dji mini 2. Music 1st funk no 49 James gang , 2nd pick up the pieces average white band, lastly Blondie One way or another

California - The Biggest Swell in Decades.. Continues

 

California is still getting battered by massive waves this week... For some it's the biggest they have seen in decades. Stay safe and watch out for each other... Check it out:


Biggest is not always best. And in the case of last week’s Wild West swell — the biggest in decades to hit California — truth is, it was only actually good at a handful of spots during short windows of tide and wind, and/or at tucked-in nook-and-cranny novelty waves. (It also wreaked 17 different kinds of havoc across the state, washing over roadways, breaking piers and into harbors.) Yeah, it was a historic surf event which’ll be talked about in parking lots and lineups and coffee shops for years, and it rearranged the relationship with where we surf, but it (mostly) ended up being more spectacle than participatory. And above we present the spectacle, including a mad return to Todos Santos. With more on the way, especially Friday and Saturday across Southern California.


Huge sets, Surfline reporting 15-18ft earlier in morning Swell Direction WSW, W, WNW (medium to long period swells over 14sec are best) Surf Height Overhead to 4x overhead


Surfing Southside Seal Beach perfect spitting barrels with the second wave of swells that hit Southern California on 1/11/23


One of the largest swells in the past 15 years hit the west coast on Friday January 6, 2023. Thanks to surf forecaster Mike Durand with SwellMagnet for helping me sort out where to go for this swell. I was torn between Rincon and San Diego and opted to go where it would be biggest. Thanks for watching. I'm Brad Jacobson and I'll sea ya on the sand.
