High Waves in Southern California




The beginning of 2012 turned out to be a surfer’s paradise along the Southern Califronia coast. Surf was up at Newport Beach and other coastal areas with breakers at the well-known Wedge rising 20 feet (6 meters).


The monstrous waves drew thrill-seeking surfers into the ocean and observers to the beaches. But officials advised those in and near the sea to be aware of waves powerful enough to topple unsuspecting people walking on the beach.
