California’s had a few fun hits of south swell here and there over the summer. While we’d hardly say it’s been a dreadful season (as some California summers can be), we also haven’t really had anything that’s completely blown our minds. With some curious angles and periods, nothing’s really lit up the coast quite yet. The Wedge has been no exception to that experience. She’s woken up and had plenty of waves, but we’ve still been waiting for the place to go off in classic fashion.
“This was by far the biggest I’ve ever seen Wedge get,” said videographer Steve Cummings. “I know there’s been bigger days, but this was enormous.”
Well, cheers to that. We’ll take as many macking days inside that not so little armpit of the Balboa peninsula as we can get. Besides, we still have plenty of time in that annual south swell window left.
