I'm sure with a Torquedo you'd have no problem timing those sets.

If that was shot today im actually surprised the wedge wasnt bigger and better than that.

ya that definitely wasnt the 15-20 foot they were claiming....although i hear today is the peak of the swell so maybe it looks better today. Just wish the footage would have been shot during surfing hours instead of a bunch of heads bobbing in the water not taking waves.

Some of you probably noticed this after watching the first link.

I was impressed.

Was that PB a Lifeguard or Coast Guard boat? Seems reeeaaallly irresponsible to be that close to the surf line if not.

pretty much anytime the surf gets that large they have a lifeguard boat outside the lineup, as well as additional units on shore, plus at least 1 Ambulance. Hard to tell by the video though.

That is an insane amount of water being pushed....crazy.

There were 20 ft sets for sure. You can see it when the tiny little ants are about to get crushed underneath them. I wish my camera had a better zoom, but I am happy with the quality of picture.

Lifeguard boat outside there and then the next day it was a Sheriff boat.

ya but you have to take into account that those little ants are just heads of body surfers bobbing in the surf. Definitely big, but i dont think 20 foot. definitely saw other footage of 20 foot from that swell though, and have personally seen it well over 20 foot on a couple occasions.
