Laguna Beach Dream Waves: First South Swell of 2024

The day started out gloomy and sketchy with a three hour session at The Wedge in Newport Beach. Only a handful of good waves were ridden as the swell picked up and the dirty ole wedge showed its teeth. Wipeouts were way more common than makes with about 1/10 waves allowing a clean exit. After leaving The Wedge we made a pit stop at our favorite mexican food restuarant on the peninsula, Great Mex. Stuffing ourselves with burritos and tortilla chips, we headed straight to Aliso where we were well aware the shorebreak would not help our food digest. It was a day to remember with great waves being ridden on both skimboards and surfboards.

Blair is awesome as always! You are my idol buddy!❤

[@TeddyParker]

It's a special feeling when Laguna recovers from Winter and Summer is about to start. Sunny Aliso days with everyone out. There's not much like it tbh

Classic video, always a good time when you post something on youtube

I grew up in Fountain Valley in the 70s. We hung out on the South side of Huntington between 3 and 5 most of the time, but we went to the wedge regularly because we take the San Antonio river to the beach on our bikes back then, skimming was just on the flat of the river Delta.
I watch beefs On the regular two, but I like your angle. It's more like actually sitting on the beach and looking straight out. Thanks for doing it. I love everyone of these videos cheers all

Crazy ZOO!!!MASSIVE Pounders, OMINUS conditions… Thanks for Sharing…😇🤙🏽

[@user-zq3iz3zn5m]

Not pounders yet. When the swell swallows the end of the jetty outside then you get pounders.

[@CatchSurfOfficial]

Big waves, heavy shredding! 🤙

That’s not Laguna Beach. That’s the wedge in Newport Beach. Near John Wayne’s house🙃

[@GaryHarju]

Man, I miss California! PNW Is great, but it’s not the wedge, the vibe.

[@SandDabs]

[@Turbo_Tastic]

[@robertnewquist3003]

Do you know the difference between Laguna Beach and Newport Beach ? Guess Not...

[@kennethjordan3281]

That's not Laguna Beach.

[@user-zq3iz3zn5m]
