Thanks for not playing any music just the sounds of waves
Yewwww🤙
Me and my brother gave it a go and paddled way out there that afternoon. It looked sort of sketchy but turned out to be pretty mellow getting mowed down with the wave breaking in such deep water and not top to bottom. Those horizon sets had us crapping our pants at first haha.
Cool.
Cool 👍
Not far away, the San Pedro Buoy registered it's largest wave in history at 35 feet on this day.
WOW... would have loved to tape it!
What a epic year in California in such a long time probably never to be repeated
The lord is good 👍 and delivering great waves. It is bc his return is very near make no mistakes about it we are living in the last days of this world before it is destroyed and a beautiful new world is made for those who love Jesus christ will see it
Ben Gravy surfed it on a softop for the win.....yewwwww
@@kevinlodowski7854Ben Gravy is the chosen one
Awesome Sunrise, great waves, makes me wish I surfed!
Epic Colors!
Have to go to “ Mother’s” Sunset Beach,
Afterwards.🤙
Not only is it huge...it's holding shape???? What a day
Have not seen Esther's break in a long time.What a treat
would have been cool to watch that from the rig
Thank you for making this I was traveling I would have paddled out .Its a rare day for Seal Beach I remember 10 footers this was a good day .
Woow Nice.
You go, Soupy😜🔨
Kook city
Totally Awesome footage wish I was there insane
Yewwww 🤙🤙
Dude at 31:55 riding that wave like a boss and catches air with 180-degree turn at the end. Awesome... Great camara work too!
Thank yeww🤙
I think that convergence on the end of that ride is the backwash from the beach. Crazy wave.
You know the wave is mushy when a boogie boarder keeps going back into the wave, the end was epic though and that back wave was a game changer.
@@Moondoggy1941 the end was rad. Glad he pulled out the back on that back wash explosion
@@Whereisharald Yeap it looked exactly like the wedge. I boogie boarded Seal Beach on Jan 1 either 1979 or 80 I cannot remember the waves were huge Southside near shore break two cuts and you had to bail, I went over the falls twice, I think the waves were a true 8 to10 feet or more easy.
Major Mush Bombs!
That a nice day. Great job on the video.
Thanks! epic day 🤙
Beautiful Colors! Epic Waves
🙏🙏
In the old days of the 70's and 80's the wave to ride broke in 12 feet of water @ 13 th. Out past the end of pier. 3x over head. One year even took out the oil platform @ end of jetty.
1983?
31:44 that bodyboard realy a long run then he ends it flying to the moon XD
hahaha flyyyyy
That ride at 31:40 was nuts! Such a weird wave!
I was visiting from Australia way back (I think 1980) after massive storms and floods had washed a whole lot of junk down to the coast. Had a surf at Seal Beach, which was cranking, offshore and crowded (the locals were friendly, though). What I remember about that day was the dirty brown water that had been washed into the surf via the storm water drains of LA. At one point, I paddled past a huge dead bird floating in the water. Surf was pretty good though . . . and I'm told it doesn't break that much anymore.
Make em LORD...🙏
And we will come....
Pumping! OMG!

Ain't never seen it like this...thanks for posting ✌️
Looks like a lot of fun....
I used to love sponging 12th-14th ss when I was younger w/ Cody Reese, Ryan Cullen and Tyler Compton.
so good!
Looks like high tide waves. I grew up surfing this area
That was a really good day
soo Good
Amazing
letsss gooooooooo!!!!!
The outside waves are big, but they’re peeling off not tubing…great time to get a log and leash it…ride the big swell!
I’m pretty sure that one wave barreled
@@Whereisharald yea, maybe one or two…I’ve done Seal with a log in these conditions…more waves 🌊 can be caught = more fun! 🤩
With all due respect after reviewing the footage, I will give you some credit. These lefts look pretty good.
I had a good session out there on that day. 🤙
Little known Long Beach cloud break, "Esther's", is at 23:50.
Dangg !
That's basically as good as it gets. I know I've surfed it, and about the same in 82/83 big year. I was tearing it up on a Christmas Hawk tri fin. biatches!
@@riverruninn EXACTLY, this was shit. oil platform breaks you know its BIG, this swell was too close to clean up, I've seen it bigger and better. surfed it since 1974
@@riverruninn but its different now because now its global warming's fault
wow...i used to surf here 1975, and in the jetty to the right of the pier...
The outer waves of the jetty are so spooky dude...I can just imagine nonstop walls of whitewater suddenly cleaning up everyone. Seems like a spot that can go zero to deadly at any time.
@Serious Sam See u out there?
Dawn Patrol
What did low tide look like?
Barba owned it !!!!
Stoked I got a couple of him 🔥
Very nice! What time of the day was this? I was there earlier in the afternoon and before sunset and videotaped from the berm... much more impressive had I been lower on the ground level. :
Lifetime
I remember 1 day back in 1983 on a sunny December weekday Mike Faley, me & John Kissell ditched our HB High 2nd half of the day and went out at Seal Beach south side close to the south jetty and it was similar to this day here on UA-cam. John Kissell was tearing on easy double overhead+ on a 6"4 and I saw what all the talk was about.
Sometimes my Seal beach delivers
Historic big, but what a jenky spot altogether!
agreed
It has its world class days believe it or not. Have made some of the most " Backdoor-esque" barrels of My life on this little stretch of sand.
@@Elloguvanah honestly so does almost every spot.
Great footage.
How many MM's are you shooting at the long end?
Thanks for posting.
600mm
I swim in the ocean Gulf river ect but I want to try to surf! I swim in high waves regularly (been drug on the bottoms of the Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, Pacific, and Indian Oceans!!)
Those smaller calmer looking waves look like they would be worth trying to learn to surf on!
Ya go out on a day this small and learn how to surf for your first time
These are the times you take the :20 minutes to paddle out to the outside and just wait. All you need is that one set.
nice wave at 34:18
Anyone surf river jetty? I live within walking distance but no time to check.
Amazing Beautiful place
Yewww
That must be in the Jetty
that was my birthday!
Happy birthday 🎉
@@Whereisharald tysm
My birthday October 13th 1967 grew up in seal Beach I owned right side pier
Sick!!
I live in Canada framing houses at twenty below Ottawa
Miss real tacos
See right side going towards Long Beach
Yeah, it's big-- no push though.
I’ve always wanted to learn to surf 🏄🏾♀️ but seeing Jaws as a kid f*cked me up. 😂
Ya need to stay away from the farm then. Domesticated cows kill 5 times more people than sharks globally per year. Course I’m sure that statistic might change if more people started milking sharks.
Can't watch this.... the camera man won't keep the camera still and film just one thing completely,....
I understand man, will do better next time. I’m always moving around and getting angles. Thank for the feedback
So many better spots to surf that that place..... and when did they start calling that mushy South jetty cloud break?
Baby rollers. 4 feet
Bob's burger land
What a non wave
Ya good idea next time it’s this small go out and learn how to surf for your first time good luck.
Definitely some good waves came in here and there too bad there weren’t any good surfers to surf it ….and never ever stop filming a standup surfer to pan over to a bodyboarder🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Hahaha it's the other way 😆
@@Whereisharald as far as this video is concerned, the best surfers out there were the bodyboarders...❤
Mushy backing off OK for seal Beach
My home beach back in the 70s. Those are the biggest waves ive ever seen there. Looks crumbly!
Yewww🤙
Biggest I've seen too!

@@jamescoleakaericunderwood2503 Grew up for awhile in Long Beach. Seal and Huntingten were the go to beaches as a kid.
@@freeradical6390 YUP...pier to pier! Ximeno Traffic circle! Used to ride the bus to Seal before that we always went fishing on SB pier...
We had the best of days growing up in So. Cal ✌️
@@jamescoleakaericunderwood2503 Yep those were the best of days! Seems like that happened in another universe now.
There are some seals out there I have not seen many seals in Seal Beach. There is aome military Base in the areaI know. When M y helper was late one morning and we had to drive past the place he said he had some isue with his truck I told everybody what it must be. He blew a seal while driving past. . I wS A SPECIAL FORCES OPERATIONS SOLDIER IN THE PAST WE WERE THE BEST NOT UNDER A CERTAAIN BRANCHWITH ALL THEIR RULES. wE WERE THE MOSTELITE GROUPTHEIR IS. nO REAL NUDGET TO FOLLOW EITHER. OU HAD TO HAVE TOP TALENT TO BE ONE OF US FOR SURE. wHEN YOU NEED TO TAKE OUT THE WORST OF ALL YOU NEED RHE BEST THINGS THERESRE. No Hummers the work in some situations but to wie and heavy and way to slow. We had to have trophy truck frame and suspension and a Fiberglass body on most of it but windos and windshield for AC and heat a luxury prerunner that is fast as they can be. A Very fast high dollar street car when you need it. Ferrari , Lambo or Corvete might work with very very hot chicks for cover of course when getting cclose to cartel leaderw. The most advanced firepower of course and mRKSMANSHIP SKILS FOR ALL DIFFERENT RANGES OF DISTANCES. aBLE TO GET INTO BEACHES UNDER WATER OR SURF IN ONTO THEM IN BIG SWELLS LONG RIDES WITH TRIPPLE OVERHEAD BARRELS OF COURSEtHE nqvy seals are good of course but when to have to take out the worst there is do you send a cute seal you see in the movies or on TV ? No you need the best there is You send a SEA LION TO DO THE JOB PROBLEM SOLVED AND STAYUNG SOLVED!
Whoever took this video, don’t quit your day job!
thanks for those encouraging words.
