It was Red Flag the past couple of days at the Wedge. There were big waves! It was not as big as I have seen before, however, I still would not go into the water under those conditions. The Newport Beach Lifeguards are out in force!!
It is always evident when the waves are big at the Wedge, as there is lots of traffic looking for parking spots so that they can see the waves, and multiple news vans and loads of spectators!!!!
The Wedge is famous for it’s large waves. Due to the location and how it faces, the waves can be quite large and depends upon the direction of the swell.
The Wedge in Newport Beach is for the experience body boarder, or body surfer, or surfer. These are not conditions for anyone with inexperience. The waves can be so big, and the currents so strong that even the strongest swimmers can get into trouble. It can be very treacherous!
I hope you get the opportunity to come and see the waves when the Wedge has big waves! And make sure you heed the Lifeguard advice.
