Big Beach is getting flooded with huge (for this beach) waves. Waves are washing all the way up to shore. Taken Aug., 30, 2011. The day before also had some unusual wave action.

  1. I surfed here once, the waves are way bigger than you think, these are about 8-12, my dad never went after he dislocated his shoulder taking on the big shore breaks at big beach. It was about 12-16 foot shore breaks on the right side of big beach when he dislocated his shoulder.

  2. Maybe it’s just my phobia of water, but when the beach becomes nearly covered in water, I would get off the beach. In my mind, I would be thinking is this a tsunami?

  3. Perfect for free swimmers, little undertow, no cross-beach currents and big waves over a smooth sand bottom. Looks like heaven.

  4. I was there a week ago, it looked half as bad, and even then, the parking attendant was going around warning people it was not good for swimming that day.

  5. I love that scream as the wave comes in, I've heard it before and it speaks of joy and life and a little bit of fear.

  6. Hell those don't look any bigger than waves in Santa Cruz on any given day!! 😂
