Entire west coast about to get some action
- Thread starter One-Off
- Start date
oside pier. 6’2” lost step driver. No pics. Almost as fun as sitting on the porch.
San Diego Surf Photos on Instagram: "This afternoon was, to my surprise, some of the better big Oceanside I’ve seen in quite some time. Here’s a quick clip of one of many amazing rides I saw go down after lunchtime today. I shot a couple open sessions today - so if you surfed Oceanside Pier South side this morning or this afternoon watch this space for some sweet stills."

Either I got used to bigger surf really quick or it just isn’t that big this morning.
Just got out of the water and it was…..
…..fun.

just in from a spot nearby. i gotta say, davey miller is still a very underrated power surfer. dude would beat many pro's if there were a heat. in fact, some of the b grade local pro dudes were sitting there in awe. he schooled em.
I've said before that spot is an exception to the rule.
Also have seen it bigger, and better.
When the swell is coming from the right direction it can be pretty perfect for a goofy. I will never touch it on those days. My backside tube skills/balls are not up to snuff for how bowly and pitchy it can get. But most days, yeah.
Have seen Chris Ward and Damien H out there alone on really hairy winter days, fearless. A snapped leash on a those days can mean you might need a rescue if the current is moving south fast enough. Have seen it happen x 1 and heard it has happened enough times before..

I keep seeing all these social media headlines ..... Giant surf ... Historic surf .... 20'-30' ... etc etc. But when watching the video clips the best i've seen appears to be solid 6' (Hawaiian) at best. Has it been so long that everyone in SoCal has forgotten what real waves look like? The video clips from the swell that hit New Jersey look way more intense. Just sayin!
There are people on here in SD who surf blacks bigger than the clips. Our OBSF guys wouldn’t even ride anything bigger than an 11’6 out there
