Wednesday through Friday we're Epically beautiful conditions/surf there. Friday was the most beautiful big surf I've ever seen in San Diego, and I've been here all my life.
Those look like Kelly Slater type waves. Pacific Beach had some 15-20' waves during a winter storm back around Jan. 2011. I gauged them off the crystal pier. Guys were surfing right next to the pier..crazy.
For beach breaks, IMO, Blacks is the most consistent and rideable by far. I'm partial to Blacks because I lived in SD for years and surfed it more than any other break in my life; but I've surfed El Porto, Hollywood Beach in Oxnard, and Huntington Cliffs just as heavy. Hammerland and Silverstrand get even nastier than Blacks in how hard they come over from what I've seen. Never surfed either. Too many pros/semi pros and hassle when they're on to be worth it for me.
I know it used to be in the 60s through 80s. Ive never seen more then 25 30 people there as it was a dangerous journey from parking to the water. 20in tall steps made of wood barely long enough for a small foot front to back. I grew up and then was stationed close to there. Have not seen it since 1983 WOW Its a regular beach now it looks like. No more hiding from the law near the steep cliffs for the nudest. I bet they charge now to get there as well.
I definitely don't have an EXTREME sticker on my car. I wasn't disrespecting in any way. I just don't think it is as heavy wave. That really sounds like you had a shitty night! I honestly would be shitting a cactus if that happened to me. I got sucked out at Rincon point about a mile or so and had to paddle back in at low tide. I saw my first white shark that day and most definitely wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. It's a fucked up feeling.
HA heaviest in so cal? try surfing 10th street newport on a big south west. You'll get your ass handed to you like no other. This wave is definitely heavy but nothing like north county shore break. If you go out at 10th on a day bigger than 5ft you'll see me there riding everyday of that swell.

Wow, some of the best san diego waves I've seen in a while.
Well shot and edited my friend. Awesome.
LIke the way you did the entry. Best clip of blacks ive seen of this swell.
Editing is so sick! Nice job!
Ive been here, and when it was filmed was my birthday!
best surfing vid ive ever seen
Wow. Beautiful! I am amazed at the crowd though. I surf waves like that back here at home in Cape Town with 2 or 3 people out.
such a magical spot, so many great memories, thanks kindly for sharing these videos, cheers from oside
People heaviest wave in So Cal without a doubt is the Wedge, but Black's was just insanely epic on that day..!
clean little vid! the intro was well done.
Short, To the point! Leaves you wanting more. Nice!!
Those are some DAMN GOOD waves!!!

Amazing video dude! Thanks for sharing.
I like the style of your video
is this the same day that that little makaha at north bird was breaking? i heard it was 20 ft measuring from the back
Dreaming of Blacks in NYC, I'll be home soon
Is that when the waves at blacks are the biggest? In January? Cause I go to blacks a lot & I never see waves this big there.
Nice one!!!! Gracias!
Dang, makes me wish I hadn't broken my last shortboard at Blacks two days before the swell hit!
Is that a begger at :35. Dont see to many of them around anymore. Thought they went out with the 80's

Fabulous! Thanks
don't agree withya on that. There aren't sharks at every spot, and surfing is just great. BTW, have you ever tried it?
You missed the macker peeler sets on the south peak
i love that place because when you fall you hit sand
so i like the beach break there
wedge, big rock can get WAY heavier, and a few spots in laguna make this wave a cake walk
DAYAMMM...So glassy I got Pterygium just watchin this video..!!!
purely beautifull
sic... nice work.
beautiful
i dont know i live in newport and go out on the big swells but i think mavs can be more insane then many other big waves
gotta love when a swell comes to town
well shit... thought I was seeing pipe, great vid!!!
that moment when San Diego goes from tiny 3 ft waves to all out 16 ft barrels
Wooooo WHOOOOOO!! Damn fine. thanks
ok how come they don't hold wolrd class surf compitions at Blacks or Point Mugu, I mean thier both world class surf spots.
1:15 nice wipeout
BEst beach ever!!!
is this the nude beach as well?
would suck to paddle back out after getting out of the first wave of the set. That is FOR SURE.

"Lovin" It!!!!!!
yes yes
sponger?
why the hell would you dislike this?
yes yes yes
ye but it doesn't break that often
it is gnarlyer
what camera do u have
sick
i heard this place is a Great White breeding ground. Is this true?
true dat
Baja Malibu is way more powerful than Blacks. And probably also Oxnard too.
Wed-Fri of that week were magic at Blacks.
Skin dog Collins is dead?
almost went there that day but I wen to del mar instead... regrets lol
horshoes is gnarly but but blacks is in my opinion a better wave
no Sean Collins is the guy that created surfline, he is dead. not skindog
It was soo crowded, that's why I filmed..!
More Crowded than Pipe
And I got central baja without a crowd
I definitely don't have an EXTREME sticker on my car. I wasn't disrespecting in any way. I just don't think it is as heavy wave.

Every beach is crowded, if not more, where Live, but the waves are shitter :(
00:59 seconds o.O ...

im guessing hes just trying to make less people surf so there are less crowwds... i dont understand either
Spongers???
*horseshoe
then some naked guy runs in and photobombs... if you don't know what I'm talking about gtfo
yes yes
