Woke Dude Els 🙌🏼
I am in that crowd. I'll be back. Bam bam.
haha love that
This is a very good day in San Diego
That's a tough crowd. Anyone who has surfed there on a day like this, who isnt a local, knows getting a set wave from those guys is like pulling off a diamond heist.
TooTrue 🔥
But the boogie boarder caught a couple?!?
Used to be just boogies on this spot back in the day. And the local ones would catch outsiders and threaten beatdowns! look at it now!
Minimalist Vagabonds No way. This spot was surfed decades before sponge boards existed.
If you have ever surfed at any major break around the world. You learn the skill to position and corner a wave. That pack is not even close to being heavey. Try rockey lefts in hawaii
Sick footage - loved hearing the shutter snap in the water
Spot 🔥
Live in the Area, if you want to know its stone step in encinitas. Recommend going in september, its always fire
Adopt me Lover 👏
@Paul Andranian @bleach you guys are both wrong its coronado

Excellent. I’ll be here on Saturday and hopefully the waves are this sweet
J Crapper 👏
So Cal : Sorrrrrry ! I just watch your vid again and ... tons of waves were made , and nicely. It's always fun to watch Joel Tudor at this spot ( but he's a master anywhere ) . Again , I don't know where my head was when I typed that note - I usually don't kook out THAT severely . Good work and keep 'em coming. Many apologies.
it's to the naughty step next time Lydia!!
That guy with the 7-foot something board with the red stringer that guy is a legend
Wave hog.. Tudors a kook
San Diegan stuck in Boston, watch these when I am homesick. Do you have any videos from father North? Would love to watch Swamis or Cardiff on a big NW swell.
Same story here but in Colorado. San Diego has been pumping lately and it is eating me up inside.
*Yewww firing! Love all the angles*
Ho Stevie! 👏
I still remember Bill Andrews (San Diego legend) convincing me to go out here in 1969...I was freaked out and stayed in the channel for nearly an hour....our equipment back then wasn’t really optimized for spots like this....but it was easy to get waves to ourselves for a few years afterwards...
Robert Higgins Rad story! 👏
@@SoCalSurfer Bill Andrews was also credited as being the first to surf Black's beach. I met him when he ran the PB Surf shop. He in turn introduced us to Larry Gordon and I started riding for G&S Surfboards.
@@SoCalSurfer in my opinion, Rex Huffman was the best local surfer ever to ride the break in this video...I surfed in the early 70's with Jeff Crawford, who credited his experience out here in helping him win the Pipe Masters.
epic footage as usual SoCal 👍
I got my self some good drop ins and barrels at scripps
Talin Banker Sick! I’ve been there all week
Awesome live action captured ... nice work !!! 🤙
surfer 182 🙌🏼
Looks like it hits a shelf or a reef and peels off. Nice wave.
Forgot Myname 👏
I was there 2006 staying at La Jolla for 2 weeks. Surfed it alone, none of the locals were interested. How times have changed.
onshore1ft Would of loved to seen it back then!
Locals were charging it long before I got there in 1987. Yeah, me's old.
@@SoCalSurfer early 70's were good too. No filming! No visitors! Boards were so long, kneeboarders and then fishes ruled.
@@dukehong7491 I got there in 1990. There would be 20 - 30 guys out even back then when it was this good. Never was a fan of Big Rock. My favorite were a couple of reefs to the south a little ways that I won't name that rarely come to life. Both brake a good 1/8 mile out, one a summer wave that's the premiere wedging drop in town when it's working, the other a spooky kelpy winter left.
muttonbuster kook
Haffey enters at 4:20 😆😆🤙🤙
I'm flying in from ohio next week. Will my Wave Storm from costco be ok to surf this wave?
Blackfish Gaming 😂
yea man
How'd it go Blackfish?
@@robertlester4569 awesome. Except the guys on the kneeboards kept yelling at me. The body boarders and stand up guys were cheering me to take off deeper
Blackfish Gaming sick. Post some pics!
Where is this? Del mar? I see Tudor at 22st alot , or seaside ? Beautiful form the barrels are glassy and smooth. Maybe sunset cliffs ???
Del Mar
Nice. 🤙
Caught inside? Eel grass is your fren.
What an edit, I love this spot from any angle!
BILLY THE PHOENIX 🙌🏼
Seriously! Those shots after 1:50 mark are incredible. What a beautiful angle
It was cool meeting you. Nice camera work!! Nice Barrels!!!!😎🤙⚡️
Rob Bourland what’s up dude! 👏
Chillin 😎🤙
Watching Koa’s movie. Sick so far.😎🤙⚡️
Last time I was out it was way to windy this is perfection and glass
VERSACE BUMMER 🙌🏼
SoCal Surfer I appreciate the love keep up the good work boys yeee
VERSACE BUMMER will do 🔥
What beach is this? I grew up in SD and it looks like La Jolla...?
Yeah it looks like La Jolla to me, too.
Nice job on the video. Never surfed, 1 question I don't understand. Why do they ride the wave for such a short period of time and then willingly jump off when they look to have their balance and could keep going? For example @2:53 Thanks to whoever answers :)
Surfers kick out of waves early because they already surfed the best part of the wave and want to paddle back to the peak faster
Is this La Jolla?
Well put brother
Awesome waves, but the crowd reminds me why I moved to northern California!
is it little point or big rock
Geez it's a party wave🏄🏄🤙
Happy2020, SoCalSurfer awesome-sets now inquiry-amateur surfer would like to know is the water all good.
David Hernandez water is good! 👏
Go to Swamis you'll love it!
Crowded but still some waves go unriden! The guy in the bigger board has a clear advantage. Hows the reef in this wave?
EROX 55 it’s a slab! Straight shelf
“The guy in the bigger board” is Joel Tudor. His advantage is he’s one of the greatest of all time lol
Michael Seifert Dam right! 👏
@@SoCalSurfer it comes straight vertical out of deeper water?
Michael Seifert hahahaha excuse my ignorance!
Thank you for putting this on UA-cam I know where this is, all you have to do is show up by yourself dont bring all your friends and dont snake the locals and most of all be respectful to the locals
Steve Lindahl why not be respectful to everyone?
I wanted to show off the swell not the location! Most will know the wave when they see how it breaks! 🤙
@@jacksullivan2872 Ya lets make the aloha spirit real
What board is Tudor riding?
What specific surf break in San Diego is that?
That’s really not a question to ask.🤦🏼♂️
What beach is this in San diego
so epic! love this channel yeewww also is this bird rock?
Trent polcyn Stoked you enjoyed it! Nope not bird rock!
@@SoCalSurfer i want to keep guessing but dont wanna be a kook is it horseshoes?
@@trentpolcyn7257 yes horseshoes, surfed it much 99-2000, killer spot!
Great video. The drone footage is amazing.
Where was this? Can’t see anything I recognize
Lol. It’s the only wave in SD that breaks like that
Alex Blundell 🤷🏼♂️
Lobster Lounge.
You can't recognize the roof of my Villa right In front of the peak
That big rock?
And all along I thought that right point break up the coast was the most crowded wave in SD County...........
Christian Vanderslice 😂
Awesome wave, got some chunk to it
Revival of the fittest Only the strong survive Yup! 👏
what beach is this?
Does anyone know what beach of SD is that?
Mission beach
@@sandiegonative2000 *bay
Was this br? Love the toilet bowl sounds from the water pov.
Connor Pearson 🙌🏼😂
What is the name of this spot?
Huntington pier
That guy on the bigger, thicker gunny board has built-in advantages. Great video. How was Black's that day?
BonefishBoards yea that was Joel Tudor! I heard blacks was insane!
@@SoCalSurfer Love the video particularly since we're now in Philadelphia.
OOoooohhhh la la
JacuzziSurfer 😆👏
Great mix...even behind the house...enjoyed
GREAT WHITE PLANT EATER 👀👏
There's a couple heavier ones but I wouldn't call anything with half a lineup of midlength single fins a slab.. Fun looking wave and good footage though!
What beach in SD?
Anybody else ever found themselves leaning their head to the right, when watching these left-breaks, wondering if dudes made it in to the tube?
Or rather, will make it OUT of the tube?
Yeewwwww!!!!
Cenoura Brava 🙌🏼
Looks really fun
Kaitlyn Vanderzwan 🤙
I like the way Tudor surfs.
clarkewi He’s my favorite to film!
yeah he should compete, might win something!
@@krusher74 I agree. He's no Kelly...But he surfs beautifully.
@@krusher74 And look at that, 1 year later after your comment Joel Tudor wins the 2021 Longboard World Champion in Malibu.
Faarrk that's crack in...looms fun as 🤙👊
Benny Handsome 👏
Is that a slab or blacks?
Look at them they’re like a tribe. You can’t walk up to those guys you have to learn the moves, pick up the speech...
Vicente Coco 😂
How hard can it be?!?!?
No you just need to know how to surf!!!
Just punch the biggest one in the face
😂😂😂 good one
how shallow is it out there? i know where this is but im too nervous to surf it. I can see the reef right below the wave. D:
physics doesn't allow any wave to break like that and not be shallow.
Very
@j clm lot more power to drive you into the reef though! I'm much more prone to say "fuck it" when it's small then when big rock is dumping top to bottom at 8 foot
@j clm holy shit thats gnarly
Would u ever come film in NorCal? That would be sick
Rydze looking to expand to get NorCal filmers!
grom at 11.40 has great style
Asator66 that would be Tosh Tudor!
4:06 which surfboard?
Was watching this spot on Sunday. Was so good. I’ll never be able to surf there. 😢
Gregoire Faber 🙌🏼😱
Charge it I believe in you if your comfortable in the water
Yeh stay away at al, costs full,of sharks and wipeouts
If a 40 year old hefty woman like myself can ride a 40mph artificial wave on a Flow Rider and actually land a small jump (and I do) you can surf this, bro.
What is the guys name with dreads and the yellow board?
Jake Lubben John Haffey
damn that's a good rip!
The Hungry Health Coach it’s a reef, literally no rip!!
I think we're all looking at these crazy surfers❤️❤️❤️
And want to know how to surf like them or how to get better at surfing
Anyone interested in Let Lake👍👍👍
Is this Blacks Beach?
Tobias Fernandes 🤫👏
@@SoCalSurfer 👌
No..its south la jolla shores
This is actually at Bolsa Chica State Beach
KTM280 how did you know ? 🤷🏼♂️🤫
always wanted to surf br, that takeoff just looks punishing if you fall though...
F3AR very hard wave to surf! 🤙
It's not nearly as bad as it looks. The reef is covered in sea grass and isn't all that jagged. As Surfer magazine put it in an article from 1990: I remember: It's the Pipeline of San Diego...if Pipeline's reef were padded. That being said, I could never get that wave down. It takes some very fast and fine adjustments.
muttonbuster well said! Still one of the hardest waves in San Diego to figure out 👏
@@muttonbuster There is also that 10-15% of waves that you'll never make if you aren't on a bodyboard
There’s a spot in lj that’s all muscle bed but locals only... r.i.p Ron Mcadams lj needs you more than ever after watching this...
I'd sign up for Joe's BJJ school just in hopes of getting a wave out here some day...
here goes happy
the dude smoking a cig then barrells
where are all these lefts at?
thought it was pipe first.
What's up w/ that chicks laugh?😁Kinda Funny.Its definitely better than complaining...
Doug Clark 😂🤷🏼♂️
I'm pretty she was speaking dog cause she was petting someones dog
Kid with the helmet was charging
KTM280 yea Mick Dave! 🔥
im good at licking the bus window when wearing my helmet
Where’s Joe Ropper.
11:47 wardo paddles for one and nobody else even looks at it

The lobster lounge. Can’t be because it doesn’t look like any relief there try surfing horse shoe on a good day
Reef not releif
Gotta be Big Rock
The one with white hat is kook 🤣
It's not the best spot. Horseshoe on a big south more balls than the rock
Julie Oliver 👏
can you see horseshoes from marine street?
@@stevecucamonga look to your right. That's it.
Yep
Julie Oliver the thing is if you go right you ride it straight into a dry rock.
These grommies don't even know the best wave in San Diego. Oh, Big Rock for shape and hollowness. Total backwash. A 5 second wave (tube) even if it does have a nice shape but, does not even come close to a 30 second perfect top to bottom monster at a high rate of speed with perfect Pipeline type shape.
Maybe New Brake or Ralphs or maybe even OB Jetty on a good day. How about La Jolla Cove on a large day? Nope, these so-so waves are a distant third or forth a wave just south of Little Makaha Long Reef. And I'm not talking about Long Reef that breaks right. It is actually the reef in between North and South Bird Rock. Maybe I have the name wrong. It breaks on a large northern swell and is a submerged reef in the shape of a human arm pointing to the southwest from the foot of Camino De La Costa or Gold coast point. It is between north and south Bird Rock in the La Jolla area.
This is one of California's best waves when it is going off. It is a perfect top to bottom fast breaking wave that is a perfect 30 seconds on each and every wave. It does not section when the wave line up. It just peals and peals and peals. Imagine a 10. Scorpion Bay type wave for 30 seconds. It breaks on a large west to north swell at low tide. But is better on a north swell. It is extremely difficult to get into as it hits the reef a a high speed and just throws out but, is rather flat until it does break. This is the only world class wave that San Diego has.
I would have liked to have tow in surfing for this wave when I was younger. Too late for me now. I used a 10 ft. big wave gun to catch waves there and that is still the board of choice for this wave if you do paddle in surfing. One might call it Middle Bird Rock. I call it the Emerald Palace.
Hawaii has few waves that can compare to a perfect 30 second tube ride at 10 ft. plus. All of the boys from LJ to PB know and respect this perfect wave.
If you catch it going off it will be a glassy late afternoon low tide 10 ft. north swell with a gentle off shore wind kissing the lip as it is a stand up tube for 30 perfect seconds on each and every wave.
Few do find the Emerald Palace. Just don't get caught inside. It will pound you for several sets over and over again.
PS It's a left and a goofy foots best ride in San Diego. don out.
don lair Thanks for you input! I captioned the video because I’m my opinion it’s my favorite wave to surf and film in San Diego! Can’t wait until we get a big enough swell to make a video on La Jolla cove when it’s massive! 👏
What you're describing sounds like what I knew as Little Makaha. Starts out just North of the actual rock at Bird Rock about an 1/8 mile out to sea. It's a ruler edged left similar to Cotton's Point that will brake almost all the way across up to the reef at North Bird which doesn't work right on a winter swell. That being said, Whaler's that's just up from Hospitals and is a left that brakes along that nasty submerged ledge on a huge SW is pretty ridiculous too. However, IMO, the best drop in town is North Bird. When a hurricane pushes out far enough for a SW angle and it's braking way way the hell out there, that initial drop is just about (but not quite) as nasty as The Wedge. No mind in mentioning these places. They only truly brake right once every few years.
@@muttonbuster Yup, you got it. We called it Little Makaha too. But that really is Long Reef north of the north bird peak.
@@SoCalSurfer The best p[lace to video it is from the back yard of one of those houses just north of north bird rock peak. Take a ladder and try to get up on the sand stone cliff. About 20 high. Or there is a little sandy beach you can get to and it to has the perfect angle in to the tube.
I'm sorry but it's always been said and I have to bring it up again. Cali surfers have such a kooky style. They also over play the surf. I mean there's a guy out there with a helmet on. Really!!!!
Vincent Mezzina Sounds like you have it figured out, Mick Dave the “guy out there with a helmet” suffered a head injury surfing this spot last year when his nose of his surfboard broke off in the back of his head. Even though the reef has a lot of kelp over it if you fall in the wrong spot it’s not a good time.
First ones me
haha
I was the guy that made the barrel

Tudor kook.... bird rock kooks
Lil Rascal Comment Kook 👏
@@SoCalSurfer just keeping it real.. just touch guy talk like Tudor does u know I was choked out so now I'm permanently aggro
@@Gsheei3h37 you got choked by a touch guy
@@krusher74 if u mean tough..but he is a kook and no he didn't come me out I'm just telling his story who he got choked out by Danny fuller now he is a permanent kook!!
you wrote touch.
Joel Tudor no doubt rips, but this video is a perfect example of how a guy ruins everyone else's session by taking the easy way out and riding a longer board than needed just so he can sit outside of everyone else. Its lame, always was lame, and always will be lame.
R Olson Can’t best him join him and if not watch us come by on the Best Wave of the day! 😂👏
@@SoCalSurfer That's alright. I get plenty of waves, and I'd much rather get half the waves on a shortboard than fuck the lineup up and soul arch all over the place. Like I said, lame.
Joel has been surfing on boards like that at big rock for 30 years so he can do whatever he wants. Hes literally honoring past locals with this board choice. Feel free to drop in on him for taking the easy way out though, I'm sure he wouldn't mind giving you a free BJJ lesson.
@@Sponger15aa "Honoring past locals"? You can't be serious dude. I'm a little older than Joel and I don't remember when riding mid lengths was a "thing" when the waves were going off, especially at a slab like Big Rock. As far as the BJJ comment, Joel has always been outspoken as am I. Doesn't mean he or I have to fight because we disagree. I also practice BJJ, and fighting over something so trivial is not something we would typically do. I'm just stating my opinion.
Shortboard revolution already happened, I guess Joel didn’t get the memo!
helmet guydidn't make one
