Massive Surf Pounds Orange County 

Massive underwater canyon carved by ancient course of the Santa Ana River when sea level was much lower funnels SSE hurricane swells straight onto Newport Point. A few miles away, much smaller or even flat. A natural wonder.

San Diego didn’t get jack squat 😂. Thanks for the Video 🤙🏽

Dude I'm at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="180">3:00</a> and this is the best video I've ever seen.

awesome video. As an advanced intermediate, it's amazing to watch guys air dropping with style, and guys wiping out.

Great job being there Brad, thank you!..

Thank you. Beautiful waves and film work. Hopefully we get a hurricane swell during the LA Olympics in four years.

Your best footage evah

Crowds are out of control. 🤯

Thanks Brad !!

Great video! Lots of thrills and spills!🤙

Awesome we get to see the masses on 5'6 s skip out and get hung up on the lip. Epic brad.😊

Great footage!!🔥🌊🔥

I think a bunch of people are just Stoked to make it out. That'd be me out there! Grew up in Minnesota so...

Fantastic footage Brad!

This wave is something else when it’s on, I’ve scored it only a few times but I did get down there for the hurricane Marie swell thank god, it was gnarly

😊✌👍Thanks for posting.

Yep, even CDM had some nice swells. Great video.

Such talented surfers.

San Diego didn't get the swell, looks amazing

I used to surf free Zuma pretty often. That had a tendency to get big and immediately close out so my friend and I developed this straight down the face, get in front of the foam, yaaaahooo style. (If you could call it a style). 😂 But it was fun. Just plain fun. Some dude asked why we don’t try to shoot the barrel more. I said what barrel? This is Zuma. But please, don’t let us stop you from being you. 😂 No wetsuits either. I guess we had higher internal temperatures lol

Newport loves those steep steep souths

@BradJacobson, you're the man ❣️ I appreciate you brother. This vlog is probably some of your best work. The soundtrack was on point. I like the tune for the closeouts. Which artist was that? Lastly, can you film the Booger's too? I bet this swell was Disneyland for the bodyboarder's ? Awesome session ❣️🏄🌴🔥🎯

WHERE ARE THESE WAVES I AM SEEING!?!?!?! We're dyin' up here in San Diego 😅

♥️♥️♥️

Where exactly is it that you are standing to get these shots?

That first one insane

Ocean beach jetties down in San Diego were firing early morning Friday. Like people were catching some crazy ass waves that looked picturesque with the barrels that were forming.

Nice Brad, keep it up!

Epic video Brad!

We caught none of this up here in Morro Bay, but it was a nice shape at 4ft. No big sharks today, like the last two sessions. I gotta say it was a good day

There used to be a huge left peak and a smaller right near the pier. The affluent have dredged the harbor. There is no third point peak at Malibu any more too.

Excellent - if this is the wedge, we were just on the other side of the Jetty there on Friday in our boat cruising along in good semi calm seas 😅

Great clips brad. It would be cool to see the beach sand relative to the surf break. Im always curious how far out the break is. If its more or less a beach break or its out quite a bit. I like to understand the paddle out and and how deep the water is where it might be breaking. gives me some perspective.

awesoME cliPS!~

I thought there was no way some of those guys were gonna make it out and then they would!

At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="948">15:48</a> and <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="967">16:07</a> (both are the end of the wave where the guy falls, not the start of the wave, bear this in mind please) are 2 waves where he nearly almost made it.

What camera do you use and editing software

Nice!

Awesome

Awsome videoooo

fabio the model / actor has a crazy motorcycle collection......

Southbay local(Torrance) just move to Texas. Miss the beach and the weather but Texas is not to bad

Waves look great!

🔥 🔥 🔥

Brad is this NB Point, aka 17th street? I've seen other videos posted of this day from that spot.

Looks like pipe. Good job.

That wipeout at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="532">8:52</a> that guy got..... obliteration. Smoked. Vaporized. He no longer exists.

it was soo short period and slamming right on the sandbar. you had to hope you rode out cause if you got caught inside you were getting a beatdown. Broke my leash before I got a barrel and left with my tail between my legs hehe

dues paid in full

OMG, Brad- you had to leave El Porto? What a bummer! And those pictures have a pier so it can't be El Porto. We know you live to appear at 10 am at El Porto.

The NB Point

Just the lucky angle/ swell window other areas just nothing 2 or 3 spots similar. Newport is one Swami's maybe 2 & near north Carlsbad where the beach curves maybe 3rd

hope all the AI musicians got paid, muzak for aliens

How come you don’t tell us where this was? Sorry I’m not familiar with every beach in Orange County

This is awesome! Which beach was this at?

AMAZING❤WAVE GOD of created 💟way Enjoyed ALL by Sport your ♥️❤️💙💚💜🌍🌏🌎💓👁️🌄🌅🌄😆Seen to be Enjoying

so many wetsuits

This is a “I surfed for six hours, got five close outs and one head dip” type of day

There were so many more better waves of the day than that first one!!!

Looks like RABES REEF Newport - May he RIP

Had to be Huntington

It’s gotta be river jetties

Charlie Wheeler (rip brother)had this place down ,couple other people did too . . Ok there u have it

Pura vida

😅 Southern California close out, denied boarding🤙

Damn. Why so many close outs? Was it because of the state of the sandbars?

Wade Carmichael at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="195">3:15</a>

What the heck? I see one person out not wearing a wetsuit. Its summer! When I was a kid surfing during the summer here in Orange County it was taboo wearing a wetsuit past June. Wearing a wetsuit during the summer was like kissing your sister. I think it as mid 80s when I saw one guy (I knew) out in a full wetsuit. It was at Trestles. It was nearly bizarro seeing some guy middle of summer on a blistering hot day putting on a full wetsuit. True the water in California doesn’t get so warm, but water temps past 67F? Cmon. True I use a vest or spring suit in the summers. But I still skin-it occasionally. Cool vid tho. Been since the 90s I’ve been out at Newport Point. Thanks

You want to see some better bigger waves look up DEADMANS AUGUST 2024! Sydney my local break.

why is none of this hitting Norcal?

Tools

Glad I didnt go, looks like closeouts was all that was left for the regular population

Forgive me for pointing this out, but who picked the music for you? It sucks!

brads gotta cut it out at some point with the shit generic music to ruin his otherwise great footage.

be better with the camera facing into the barrel on the left... and better music.

70% crap music 30% waves. Is this a vevo channel or a surfing channel?

Footage was great.... that line up sucks... damn I hate crowds

Nothing like a bunch of entitled Surfers thinking they on the lineup
