‘ The Wedge’ in Newport Beach is known for its large wedge shapes waves that can get over 9 meters high, this spot is frequented by some of the most experienced surfers out there.
When conditions are right, and a wave approaches the shore at the proper angle (most generally a south swell), an approaching wave will reflect off the jetty creating a second wave. The reflected wave meets up with the following wave of the set and forms a peak, and this pattern can repeat for several following waves as well. The combined effect of the reflected wave and the incoming wave creates a combined wave much larger than either of the two separate waves and occurs very rapidly and forms waves in a very unpredictable and “unstable” pattern, so that no two waves are alike and the exact breaking point is difficult to predict even for an experienced surfer.
While beginners tend to stay in the calm waters of the marina, those who are ready for some more can paddle out to the Pacific Ocean and strengthen the core muscles while enjoying the stunning coastal views and chances are high that you will be joined by some seals and dolphins.
If you are new to boating you can rent an electric ‘Duffy boat’ think golf cart on water and explore the sights around the marina but when you are ready for a good workout, one of the many sailing schools can take you out on a regatta on the choppy ocean waters and put you to the test. The waters between Newport Beach and the nearby Catalina Island are perfect for sailing experiences and competitions.
As a warm up you can cruise along the coast all the way up to Huntington Beach but the avid cyclist will want to head over to Crystal Cove State Park and challenge the calves to push you over a number of hills under the balmy California sunshine. If you still have some energy left after this rent a mountain bike and tackle the the local trails which stretch more miles and will blow you away with breath-taking views.
