We have a massive swell hitting California right now and surf forecasters are calling it the biggest in decades for the state. This was filmed out at Blacks Beach where it was 15-18 feet!

Used to limb diwn from the hangliding cliffs doen to Black's when I went to UCSD bCk in the late 1970s. Used to boogie board or just get some sun and bag a few rays. The nude volleyball games were fun to watch.
So glad you shared this! Thanks!!
Pretty sure thats not 15 ft let alone 18…….
I got tubed in conditions like that at Blacks in the 90s. Epic wave!
Thanks for the video dude. Grew up surfing Black's and surfed "Big Wednesday" Jan 28, 1998. Living inland and great to relive some of the action!
Back in the day there was an ol boy used to come down when it was big. Drove a red PU with a big black dog wolf looking thing chained in back. He had an 11 foot board he made and would paddle out wearing just his underwear and had a cigar in his teeth. When he'd catch a wave he would howl and the animal up on the cliff would chime in. Damnedest thing you ever saw and nobody ever knew his name.
Big balls out there. Awesome footage, love to see it.
Looks heavy.
You don’t see these kind of waves in Florida 😮
if you have never done it you cannot imagine the power this water has. I mean you truly have no idea the conditioning required especially in the water temp to do this . What I dont get it is they all close outs and in my opinion not worth it at half the work.
Brooo this video is blowing up!! Good stuff! 👏🏽
What time do surfers paddle out in the morning?
Hey Jordan, that’s the worst place to shoot from for Blacks? Next time sheet from the parking lot or the or where the lifeguards are on the lower cliff off the beach👍 must be your first time that you missed an opportunity
Hey Jordan, did you get yur eyebrow scar surfing fighting?? that's how i got mine, LOL surfs up bra! i was a santa cruz boy.. subbed
I learned to surf at Blacks. I also learned about the human anatomy.
F huge lolll !!!!
Do I see Clothes ??
Guy at 05:31 got the wave of his life. So stoked!
I’ve been out there on huge days bigger than this and very under gun and spooky giant black water peaks
All those bodies TOTALLY out of shape can’t even paddle fast enough to catch a wave omg what a bunch of weakling goobers lmao
Unless you are a real water man those 10 foot faces will dissolve you
This swell came in and the perfect Direction. For the locals it was great. I was there at the biggest swell 1969 there was corduroy headed to the Horizon total closeouts so we had to take a boat from San Diego Bay just so we can get the outside. What a day that was! So when you remember the biggest swell you ever got it's not the big is never got.
Between kooks snowballing the deep and early closeout sections, this break looks like it was challenging to get a decent ride to say the least….5:45 and 10:25 best rides of the day.
The biggest I've seen is not being able to see the horizon while standing on the boardwalk in MB.
Those Black's bombs we all know and love!!!
Have all of you idiots forgotten the El Niño of 1997? Good luck with your channel but this is definitely not even close to as big as 97, not to mention it was glassy with no mush burger’s 🤘🏼⚡️⚡️⚡️🔱
Great vid! Just the sound of the surf…perfect!
Jordan, we hate you. Bye now
Great footage!
It's definitely big ! shooting that on a cliff I'm guessing triple overhead???
thanks for the great shots Jordan. the swell of a life time!
The sound of the ocean is awesome!
the reefs would have been the call
What a joke
To me ot doesn't look that big. Here in Mexico ot was biiig
I wonder if the cove was breaking
Blacks Beach..It also is a Nude Beach or it used to be…
Don’t believe Surfline’s hype. They’re selling a product. 2016-17 was way bigger and better in most of the entire state.
18-25' at harbor cove Ventura point. And the best is to come on Tuesday.
Yikes
'78 probably November, P.B. POINT was breaking from Hermos to Loring st. Perfect all day 3/4 mile as the crow flies .
Skip Frye said "best day in 40 years " . That was 40 years ago, I wonder if it has been that good since?
Aloha , Rich on Kauai
I moved to ID a couple of years ago, but I would have been all over this swell. Only problem is I don't have a board in my quiver that would have been big enough. It's so much bigger than it looks from up high once you are in it. Great footage! Gonna take a trip to Costa Rica soon, and coming back home to SD soon to surf my brains out. haha
Sharky too I'll bet
those last shots were especially great
