A surfer rides a large wave at The Wedge during a south swell that brought large waves to Southern California beaches on September 04, 2023 in Newport Beach, California. The Wedge is well-known among surfers for its swell that reflects off a jetty and back into other swells in the wedge-shaped water between the beach and jetty to produce dangerously big surf in water that can be as shallow as three feet (Photo by Sean M.
