Hooping Newport? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Mr. Adventure · 02-01-2012, 08:40 PM

The one time I did long beach I drove down slept in my van got on the water before day break and when the sun came out it was red tide. Not enjoyable.

Out of curiosity where is the wedge? I've been out of Newport harbor a few times and still am not sure, is it one of the jetties that makes the mouth, or is it a structure? I guessed it was the south side jetty but would like to know for sure.

North side of the mouth on the other side. Last year people were surfing in the bay !People die on the wedge!

That might be a bit intense

You can hear it roar from the bay.

Yeah, that's why I wanted some feedback. Apparently the wedge is known to be an unpredictable surf break where the swell bounces off the breakwall and then joins again to create a larger wave.

I'm assuming that on a normal day the far end of the north wall will be safe. I'll let you know next week how it works out.

The wedge is the right side of the jetty known as Balboa Penninsula, excuse my spelling...from shore there is a wicked sudden drop shortly where the wave breaks boogie boarders love it.
