Hurricane Marie
Big waves pounding Newport and the Wedge
Beach Life, OC beaches, Photography, SurfingSpurred by reports of big swells, I finally checked out the Wedge in Newport Beach yesterday. By the time I made it through the traffic crawling into the peninsula the biggest waves had gone, and surf boards had given way to body surfing. Whenever these intrepid souls caught a wave, the crowd roared with delight.
Going in
Trying to ride waves this like
And this
While lifeguards watched closely
And waves pounded Balboa Pier further up the peninsula
