Epic video! I was born in South Laguna in 1984! And grew up here! My dad even grew up in south laguna! I loved going on the pier. It acted like a jetty and kept so much sand at this beach! Great video! 🤙🏼

I do not go by there much, but when I do I have noticed for sure a lot less surf! I have had some very memorable body surfing days on Southside off that point in summer..

I grew up with Danny Kwock, and Preston Murray ripping this spot to shreads! Kwocl even tried hoys hand surfing the Wedge- which at the time was considered "unsurfable" It was a reknow apot for body surfing and knee boarding. I consider myself lucky to have watched Ron Romanosky shread giants Wedge on a knee board.

For "epic" 56th St this is junk. I've had some of my best waves all time at this spot and not one of these would make the Top 30!!

Ventura local 70 years old. So many J tstories. But here’s one. Cica summer of 74 huge south swell hits the California coast Surfer Mag dedicates an issue to it and dubs the swell The Monster from New Zealand.I’m there with two buddies we crest the road at cracks and get our first glimpse perfect 10 to 12 feet A frames and heavy! There were two guys out that day that were dominating. Terry Fitzgerald and Wayne Lynch. They were in Santa Barb at the time promoting.a new wetsuit company called RipCurl.

Sketchy spot for so many reasons. When big Winter swells max out almost every other spot in SoCal, Lunada holds that right bowl like no other. The steep goat trails, especially after a rain, covered in the stickiest slickest clay mud I’ve ever tread upon, and that’s before you even reach the shoreline. High level of difficulty entering / exiting water due to boulders, clean up sets that catch everyone, kelp tangles, and lastly the inbred locals with their shenanigans. A long running hazing system with expectation that any “local help harass any perceived rando (even though PV is full of transplants). You will 100% get stink eye, shit talking, intimidation, rat packing, drop-ins, general unpleasantry … and that’s on a chill vibe day no matter how respectful you are. Wear hiking boots, change at the bottom, don’t overcrowd the top of the point, and be patient you might snag a primo set wave. Is all that worth the effort and anxiety? EXPERTS ONLY for real. Don’t even think about it unless you’re that guy. I’ll be back Boys! One Love.

Yes that was Hurricane Marie, one of the biggest and cleanest swells in a long time! If you look up some other spots like “ 56st Hurricane Marie” or “Cottons” it was off the charts on that swell. It was peaking this day , but lasted for a few days solid, great swell..

This is no doubt an epic day at Blackies...but there were so many places this afternoon that were historically big and perfect. And the next morning was the best Blackies I've ever seen. Don't think theyre even surfing the big swell on this one, too long period, just the leftovers from the preceding one.

Hi ichorousmedia, yes the next day morning I was on the Huntington Beach Pier for a friend that passed. It was raining hard, and the waves were basically as big as it gets there cracking just outside the end of pier some sets. South Side was doable, a few guys got out, nobody catching the largest waves though. The tide was high so that cut down the side current a little . About 10am the rain stop. The wind was SE side shore not to bad. San Diego was hitting BIG also peaking the 29th. This Thursday swell was just starting to hit, yes very long period 17-21 secs. Interesting though Blackies this day 28th got smaller by noon or so and the wind onshore, with tide going out. But yes next day 29th was the main peak of the swell. Hard to video in the rain for camera’s, can get ruined. Thank you for your comment!..

Yea maybe the sand from the inlet changed it a little but overall it doesn’t really affect boxcars what did change is where the inside break is at Seapoint in the fall it is good everywhere once the shape gets more walled towards winter the better shaped waves are primarily towards the light and the inlet because sand gets pumped out from the inlet there once every year from a big pipe which fills in the sand in a good way there but ruins the normal inside break at the north end of cliffs and tower 26 once the sand fills in there because it’s too shallow and walled from all the sand pumped out from Seapoint and the swell getting more walled going from fall to winter but once a few big west swells hit the sand at the north end of Seapoint gets ruined and the sand at the south end of Seapoint gets better because it’s deeper and the shape is better! Inside bars at bolsa and goldenwest to the pier also get better too! that zone at boxcars reef likes a big west but if it’s too big and not mixed up enough it’ll wall out even at boxcars but if there’s some background swell making it have more shape and breaking it up it will have better waves coming in on the reef at far north end of cliffs for the further south peak to get good it needs a really westerly swell and pretty broken up shape and be pretty much nearly as big as it gets to break really good
