What a day!  Thanks for sharing videos and photos.

Here's a shot of Leo Cabrillo (Secos) near County line. The swell was really hitting there.  Photo was taken around 12:30 on big Wednesday.

That was fun.... hard to believe that waves that big would be so relaxing to ride... it looked fun!

Here's some video from "Big Wednesday" at Doheny. This was in the evening when it was high tide. It was breaking even further out on low tide wrapping around in front of the Harbor entrance.

Great video Brent! I wasn't out there Wednesday--too big for me-- but I WAS out there Thursday morning. Still plenty of size, enough to get my adrenaline pumping. Biggest waves I've ever surfed out here; it was crowded but I got my share. I was proud of myself!

Haha actually thats my quiver killing Phoenix V3-such a great board...
No more pics because it was so hazy from all the spray in the air my wife stopped filming.
Good times!

I can't wait to try the Phoenix. Gonna go demo one this week. Especially curious about v2, but would like to try the 1 and 3.

Here is another picture Doheny that day. Someone posted it who was on what looks like some sort of boat.
It's not overhead to me!
8'8" L-41 ST and a whole pile of boards I rarely use.

What a day!  Thanks for sharing videos and photos.

That's Leo Carrillo, known as Secos. It sounds similar to Cabrillo, which is a beach at the tip of San Pedro, near the harbor. They happen to be the best windsurfing beaches in the LA area, although very different and about 50 miles apart.

To give some idea how big the waves in the picture are, the rock at the far right of the pic is the normal take off spot for surfers, even on "big" days. I have surfed/windsurfed Secos over the last 40 odd years and have never seen it break that far out.

LOL....what the hell is that thing?  Looks like they shot that pic through a periscope.

But how much fun does that wave look....especially knowing it's Doho, and where it's going.  Yeehaw!

  Yes.  Your correct that photo is Leo Carrillo.  I used to surf that place a lot back in the day.  I have never seen it as big as it was on this day.  That wave broke way out in front of that mushroom rock in the mid section of the wave.  That particular wave would have been rideable but no takers.  Looking to the left from the cliff here's a photo of Point Zero's on an inside wave.  What a terrific swell!
