Spot Guide
The Wedge is one of the most famous and dangerous shore breaks in the world, created when south swells reflect off the 2,000-foot Newport Harbor jetty and merge with incoming waves to produce massive "double-up" peaks that can reach 30 feet. The shallow sand and steep beach create an explosive shore break that attracts elite bodysurfers and bodyboarders. Standup surfing is effectively prohibited during summer. Backwash colliding with incoming sets adds lethal unpredictability.
