HUGE Waves at Wedge Tuesday and Wednesday!

Today, Surfline is reporting a forecast of at least TWELVE FOOT waves at the Wedge… so you know what that means!  The structure of The Wedge often double those sizes, and is sure to attract a ton of tourists– especially during the summertime– so if you want to check it out, consider a rideshare or riding a bike.

The Swells are huge, with three of them coming from the south; a one-foot, two-foot, and a four-and-a-half-foot.

Remember, with big waves come equally big Rip Currents, so warn others of their presence and know how to identify them and deal with them.

There is a High Surf Advisory in affect by NOAA until Wednesday at 9pm.

Above all, have fun safely in the water… or from the shore!
