    Remember this wave all too well. Went body surfing there when I moved to Huntington in late 80's and had just moved from Seattle. Not sure of the size but I took the wave late, it took me up and over, my face smashed into the sand when the water pulled away and just heard a craaaaaaaaaaaaack run all the way up my neck. Never did it there again. Stick will the 2-3 footers in HB.

    The Wedge waves are short, big, fast and powerful. This was my second home in the 70s and 80s. I'll never forget as me and a friend dove in to the calm before the storm, the lifeguard yelling outside boys. Beach was packed and only a few of the regulars in the water, and normally outside at the Wedge was maybe a 20 second swim. These were the biggest waves I've ever seen or been in since. Breaking and reforming at the end of the jetty with the last being the size of a tsunami. Breaking way over the jetty wall and into the harbor. Couldn't set up being the last out but had the opportunity to swim up the face and look down and out over the jetty and shore at the beach goers who appeared to look like ants then shoot thru the lip and down the backside and bodysurfing this monster wave to the 10 other people on the other side. I never felt more alive that day and exhilarated. We went to the Jolly Roger on Balboa Island for lunch after and remember the waitress saying I looked like I had seen a monster. I was in my Kanvas by Katin surf trunks with sand and salt still in my hair and told her I had and it had seen me.
