The Wedge

If you like to surf or hit the waves, the infamous
"Wedge" in Newport Beach is something you have to
experience at least once in your lifetime. Although
The Wedge isn't classified as a wave, it's actually
a 20 foot plus battering ram that was created by
sheer intelligence.
The way it heaves, throws, and bends behaves in ways
other waves can't begin to comprehend. If you look
at it up close, you'll notice that The Wedge is a
combination of two waves that join together, resulting
in a massive slingshot that is capable of sending
anyone flying.
The Wedge takes a swell, but only for a few moments,
retracting the swell energy from the jetty then
smashing on the beach. Though it may look like a
"humping effect", as the locals call it, the feel
and look of it must be seen to be believed.
