RaymundoHOST
Oh, that's unfortunate.
LunchboxHOST
But I gave the truckers, "You guys use that at the truck stop, Flying J." [horn honks] But that day, then went to The Wedge.
LunchboxHOST
Disgusting.
LunchboxHOST
It's the biggest waves, 'cause they come off the jetty.
LunchboxHOST
But watching it, and now if you guys watch the news, I mean, they're getting like 20-foot waves right now from the Hawaii hurricane.
RaymundoHOST
Oh, the Hawaii hurricane.
LunchboxHOST
And it's washing out where we were at, The Wedge.
RaymundoHOST
No.
Rob MarcianoGUEST
Well, I, I'm woefully unprepared for, for this part, but I would say this, uh, two things.
Rob MarcianoGUEST
One, um, just go look at the, uh, the wave video coming out of Newport and the wedge, uh, from, from Hurricane Marie.
Rob MarcianoGUEST
Those swells coming in are just insane.
Rob MarcianoGUEST
Some of the...

Jeff BlissCORRESPONDENT
It's been spectacular.
Jeff BlissCORRESPONDENT
And as we've discussed in previous weeks, like last week, the Wedge, which is a premier body surfing and big shore break there in the Newport Beach area.
Jeff BlissCORRESPONDENT
has been giving surf photogs and videographers footage like they haven't seen before.
Jeff BlissCORRESPONDENT
And even it's been breaking inside the harbor, which is unusual.
Jeff BlissCORRESPONDENT
So they welcome these big waves that come in, the big swells that come in.
Jeff BlissCORRESPONDENT
They turn into big waves on the beach.
Jeff BlissCORRESPONDENT
And the Wedge, which is very famous, especially for body surfers, has been really reaping the benefits of it.
Jeff BlissCORRESPONDENT
So what happens is the wave comes in.
John BatchelorHOST
And it creates a condition that Jeff has taught me.
John BatchelorHOST
It's called the Wedge.
John BatchelorHOST
When the waves are big enough, and they were today, you could see as it came in on the shallower and shallower beach, it divided in two, in two wedges.
John BatchelorHOST
One went right and one went left.
Jeff BlissGUEST
You have hundreds, if not thousands, of people come out to watch this and these surfers.
Jeff BlissGUEST
And I tell you, I've been out at the Wedge before, never that big.
Jeff BlissGUEST
And certainly as I've gotten older, I've rethought the idea about going out there.
Jeff BlissGUEST
That's a young man's game.
Michael MonksHOST
The LA Times reports that this infrastructure was buried beneath sand and water for many decades, including piles of rocks, chunks of concrete, and rusted metal rods, and after these powerful waves removed all that sand along the shoreline.
Michael MonksHOST
And, and a lot of this erosion has happened near the West Jetty, where the popular surfing spot, The Wedge, is located.
Michael MonksHOST
Do you surf there, Luigi?
Lou PenroseGUEST
I don't surf there, but my sons have, and they say it's pretty cool.
