The Wedge

Surf Guide

The Wedge: a mutant of a big wedging left that reflects south swell energy off the Newport Harbor jetty. On a big south swell the Wedge can produce waves well over 20-foot faces very close to shore, with hollow grinding boels right on the sand. During the summer all flotation devices (surfboards, bodyboards, skimboards, etc.) are banned at Wedge between 10am-5pm so the old school bodysurfers can have at it. The Wedge is a classic spectator arena and one of the best entertainment venues in the world when it's on.
