- SURFING HURRICANE HILARY BARRELS. Tropical storm Hilary slammed California and brought epic surf to Southern California on August 20, 2023. Newport Beach experienced well overhead sets courtesy of pulsing swell and strong offshore winds from the northeast.
Thank you to Ethan McKenzie for documenting this historic swell and the epic thumbnail by Craig Larson.

This storm caused widespread destruction throughout the Southland, bringing heavy rainfall (nearly 12 inches in certain inland regions), resulting in flooding, road closures, mudslides, and flash floods in Baja.
Hurricane swells are rare but when they do hit California they are a spectacle to be held. Spots like the Wedge and Newport Beach jetties seemed to have the best waves during this rare swell.
Our thoughts are with the community in Maui as the devastation caused by the West Maui Wildfires has destroyed Lahaina and beyond. In addition, Kihei and various areas of Upcountry Maui, such as Kula and Olinda, have faced and are still facing destruction from distinct wildfire outbreaks.

Used to live down there.... don't miss the crowds and the closeouts at all 😊. That being said, looks like a few fun ones!
I said to the hubby, the surfers are gonna hit the beach to ride some awesome waves, then your video showed up. Nice
today we can no longer surf a wave without the wave being stolen…
Great video!
yep, all the style and etiquette of intestinal parasites.
Do, Not being a victim. Change your heart to change Your world.
Demonization feedback loop gon' getcha@@nothername2843
It was like that in the 80s too. Just stay away from city beach near the pier, and don't even try on a busy day at the Wedge in NB.
There were about 100 guys out at The Point. Another 56 guys off the jetty at 56th St., and another 200 guys out at River Jetties. Mostly closeouts with a few gems...if you could find em!
I’m seeing quite a few gems in this video.
And some brutal drop-ins
I was surfing state beach with only one other dude out about 50 yards away from me between magnolia and newland and it was absolutely firing
I saw Huge set waves in Huntington from the Pier to Seapoint along a bike ride in the rain like a lunatic because gyms closed down. I'm was happy to see Surfers out there getting good waves and not barricading inside with sand bags
Sand bags ? Triple7, that was hilaryious !
You got my backwash toss clip 🤙🏽 im stoked
Stellar footage!! Thank you! Hope you all are OK in CA!
Gotta love the guy on the JOB board doing the sprinkler dance 9:12.
pure chaos
Knee boarder guy out there keeping the 70s alive. Looks like it was a zoo out there. Thanks for sharing. Rock On!! 🤘🤘
I haven't paddled out in a long time but I don't miss those socal crowds. It's like going to a skatepark these days and having to watch out for scooter kids everywhere.
Talk About Avid Surfers! I'm proud of my Malibu Boys & Girls! You guys are amazing!!!
Yeah boys! I was hoping you'd get some good surf out of Hilary!
Unbelievably crowded. I assume this was Sunday?
I waited until the sun came out on Monday and had an entire North LA point break to just me and a fellow wave rider. Smaller, but much much funner and safer.
Holy Fucking Shit! That shits crazy. Them people are gutsy!!!
And a good time was had by all....
First time surfing a hurricane swell at the point after watching in awe as a kid during Marie… Less people longer rides at north side pier made an epic double session for me
Total Mayhem!!!!!!
Guess I'm an old dude now so get off my lawn, but when I was a grom back in the early/mid-70's we learned (were taught) manners - there were consequences for snaking waves like that. It's like Lord of the Flies out there.
Plus it's historically been a body surfing and bodyboard break. Now it's an exercise in mayhem and everyone for themselves, hard boards flying in the air. Keep your dentist's number handy in your wallet.
@spamwagon I started surfing about 20 years ago-ok I confess I'm a sponger- and even though it didn't feel good to get called out for fucking up, I learned to appreciate you guys who were still running the lineups back then because the embarrassment was HOW I LEARNED. When you're low-key, respectful of the locals, willing to wait your turn (GO when it is), and willing to take a few sets on the head to avoid fucking up someone's wave, you will earn respect. Which few care to do anymore.
This looks like all pre-13:00 before the drizzle & NE started standing the peaks up, allowing for made super late air drops. After 14:00 on the tide dredge The Point really went off 2Xing this. But for the excessive snakes, so many straight stand up disappearing acts! Please chyron rider names, as possible. Can’t wait 2c the PM rides, so I can slo-no some!
Love the girl who snakes 2 guys and then gets surprised when she try’s a cutback and they are there.
Snaking is not the same as dropping in. It’s padding behind someone to put yourself closer to the curl even though it’s their wave. It’s much more obvious on a point or reef break than a beach break.
@@hasbeenracingwhatever manual you read online was wrong😂
@pronounsushistore but he's correct. Somewhere along the line most of the internet seems to have decided a drop in is a snake but it's not. Just more covid surfers not learning correct terms or etiquette
So many guys out at the point.
Must have been a lot of fights in the shore break.
I guess if you're at The Wedge, dirty water is the last of your concerns.
Sick!
it was firing huh
Landlocked I’m Las Vegas…missed this swell 100% 😮
Wedge beach showing its teef.
The guy on the red/black board never stops
So the Wedge AND the jetties? Funny, Icould hear Chris (raw beefs) exclaim near you! unmistakable voice
🏝️🔥🔥🔥🔥
Guy near the beginning of the video on the green board backside should have the 1970s treatment. What a punk!
8:16 Warp 😳😵💫😵💫😵💫😵😱😱😱😱😱
California Dream.
All boards now. No Boogie/body boards. Is it the same at The Point, 56th?
just watching this video makes my blood boil
The wedge comes with some of the most mutant backwash anomalies
doesn’t look like a tropical storm to me. Cyclones we get in Aus are normally short periods and lumpy, not lined up like this. You don’t get sets either just constant unrelenting waves.
Everyone just dropping in on each other like it’s nothing 🤦🏽♂️
Whats with ALL the DROP INS? what a nightmare
lol so many sick burns
Smoked
Rifiling
Was that Romo on the kneeboard?
@1:48 FATALITY!
***** Sick. What Beach was that ?
Newport point I think
I bet that’s some dirty water!!
So many drop ins
The Wedge gets bigger than that.
breaking like pipeline that day. i like balboa peir
Gosh if i accidentally did anything like all those clowns did id be hating myself for days.
Right? Where I'm from, do it twice and you'd be limping for days after a well-deserved beat-down.
Apparently, you have a conscience and some decency as a human being. Didn't see much of that in the video. Pretty disturbing, actually.
Respect?
Why all the rubber in the water??? Its summertime......
So many kooks, no etiquette! These kind of snakes would have got lit up up back in the day. I guess we've just come to stupid!
so i guess the new thing is that whoever is closer to the shoulder gets the wave. interesting.
O.C.Snake Farm
My dad 151/2 in 1979 surfing class day number 5 with buddy's. Early-morning Zuma first for him never surf Zuma so foggy socked in bad that day They hear the waves but couldn't see them through the fog standing on the beach that's how bad it was . Always checked wave conditions but not that morning got there and surfing they go. Paddling out dad's last of three now this is Zuma and he's a rookie . You're waves were the same size that morning at Zuma so he hit the eject button you know how big waves look when you're laying on your bored looking up 20 ft no way he can handle 18 to 22 ft faces on only five days surf class The size and year is accurate . Zuma never that big since
Haha, lotta water snakes out there… lol..
this point surf can been used for get a session wsl. the waves are great.
SO. MANY. DROP. INS. What is going on CA???
Surf etiquette... What surf etiquette, its a drop in free for all😂
Surf school 'Magna Cum Laude' dudes!
0:17 hoping the red board hits him. Dang, it missed.
Couldn’t surf there. WAY TOO many drop ins. Too easy to paddle out, every d head is out.
Yah especially since it’s summer water is warm, plus too close to La.
2:53 who has the right of way here
Who's that at 3:50?
The group at the apex of the wave should have paddle down to the panties hanging onto the edge of the wave where they were consistently dropping in on everyone. Have a little old-school powwow about the dangers and complete bulshit of dropping in on everybody. RLTW 3/75
Great footage, but I could only make it about 2 minutes in because of all the drop ins. So hard to watch.
Covid was the worst thing to happen to surfing since Gidget. Half these mofos should even be out there.
A lotta crap in that lineup
Kook central
Walled, backwash and crowds. Total clown-car.
Just an absolute circus out there. Everyone might as well have gone on the same wave every time!
Guys are just blatantly snaking each other.
You have people making serious life choice errors at the Wedge. Clearly, it was not the right wave. Time slowed, then slowed, once more. You could mark the passing of our days before you hit the bottom and got worked. You could think about your life, and your choices, and the mistakes that you made. The fall would slow down time, slow down your thoughts, slow down everything in this crazy, mixed-up world of ours. Your broken board smashing into your head felt like but a love tap. You could reach your senses in the middle of the wipeout. You could find answers. Isn’t that why we surf? Because we want the world to make sense?
Couldnt have put it better myself 🤙
Whoa I’m gonna drown that’s so deep.
Yeah sure and to get the chicks!
This was not Hilary! This was a completely different swell. Hilary was flat.
How many people drown 😂😂😂
Any deez fakas catch cracks?
56 st clips arnt even from Hilary
Zooport, snake city. Too bad about the high tide at The Point.
i'm convinced the wedge is a meme-level terrible surf spot
Lots of guys getting an absolute smack down.
Really no good barrels. most of the guys were trying to carve 250 guys out. that has to be california
Most of the first 55 seconds makes me want to vomit. Glad I don't live in SmelLA or Zooport any longer. Surfing is for KOOKS
Wow, the amount of complete F-ery. Complete disregard for common courtesy. Do people even look anymore before they drop in? WTF
All the wetsuit girls showed up
🤡clowns dropping in
No shortage of clowns at The Point.
Too many people , no respect in the water . Surfing is in a sad state now
Just stand up surfers. Where are all the bodyboarders? Kook
Crap
Lol average day in Hawaii
There's nothing average about a day in Hawai'i :)
newport circus
No words 😶 🤮
hmmmm ok
