Was out there in the AM that day...biggest Doheny I've ever seen with some walled off closeouts...Hurricane Marie was historic. Salt Creek in the afternoon the same day was going off too!
This swell was so big and steep (from the south) that it got inside the Channel Islands and the sand spit went off. Seal Beach River Jetties and Malibu were double+ overhead. Pt. Magu was huge.
Looks like fun. Only issue with these conditions is it looks mushy and small but probably not hard to get caught off guard if a big set comes in and closes out of position.. especially on a big board like a lot of these guys.
Doheny, one of the most polluted waves in California and it still draws a crowd. Marie was a great swell. If you caught it, food for you and for those who caught a secret spot that you’ve never seen break before, even better. I surfed Long Beach that was head high barrels and with living there 22 years that was the first time I ever surfed it. Good memories.
Summer is not polluted since SJC creek does not flow into the ocean. That only happens in the winter and spring after rain storms. August is as clean as ever.
Surfed doheny mid to late 60s. Fun. But never more than 4' iirc. Dana pier ok too. Killed it with all the docking 'improvements'. Trestles and old mans usually good on a 4'+ south swell...haha only cuz i'm goofy foot. Backside never a fave stance.
Waves were breaking. It was low tide, the rocks were exposed. At a deep high tide, those waves would have been nasty and huge and cause flooding on the beach

Doheny and creek are terrible waves on big, steep S swells or SE. If you aren't at Fullers or Newport Point, then really, what are you doing??
I used to surf there in the mid 60's BEFORE Dana Point Harbor was built. Used to be all kinds of little breaks.
I was there on that day it was so fun
Me too

Oh dang I remember surfing this on one foot days it's a bit huge for me to think of paddling out on that day too big
Doheny looked like this, this past summer on the solstice, it was some of theist fun surf of my life, pumps and clean faces
Surfing there is my favorite!
It’s crazy how soft it still is 😂😂
That’s what she said

I was there the day before or after and it was much bigger. Most waves were closeouts and it was smashing over the seawall.
I'll stick with the 1-2ft Doho
They ruined that wave in the 70s. It's never been the same
how?
the harbor
That dadgum new harbor messed up the whole neighborhood!
beautifull wave look like
This looks exactly like Capitola jetty minus those 3 rocks on the inside. I was sure that's where this was.

I remember this. Had me wanting every year to be as fun after that, however this is a once every few years only type of break for doho
Big swell, southern California thousands of surfers ...wish l was there.
let us take a look at trestles or Newport or Huntington on the same day
Years ago before they built the jetty, it would have been 8 to 10 ft

Yoop and hoop the hurricane Doheny ☃️❄️🌦☀️🌤
Plenty of haole surfers out there but I'll blow them away for sure.
its like 3ft lumpy
Mush monster
Thats hurricane surf??? We call that no swell where I live.
Yeah, that was some pretty small mushy garbage. When I saw the title I was expecting something good.
Tava bom demais show de bola 🙏🏼👍🏿
Biggest swell in like 30 years? And it still doesn't wanna break.

They ruined this wave when they built the harbor.
Biggest DOHO ever.
Boat harbors suck
And you’re mad corny
Such a shitty break
A bunch of dudes that don’t know how to surf, wasting a ton of waves.
