What Is The Wedge in Newport Beach and Why Is It So Dangerous? The Wedge is a surf spot in Newport Beach, California, where waves reflecting off the Newport Harbor jetty combine with incoming swell to form a steep, powerful shorebreak. It is dangerous because the waves often peak and break in very shallow water right at the shoreline, which can slam riders headfirst into sand, rock, or other people. On big south swells, faces can reach 20 to 30 feet, creating hazardous conditions that lead to frequent injuries and occasional fatalities.

Wild, beautiful, and seriously risky: The Wedge can turn small swells into towering, bone-rattling shorebreak. Would you watch from the sand or paddle out? #bodysurfing #NewportBeach #OceanSafety #shorebreak #TheWedge

What makes a tsunami — and what to do if one comes Several factors help determine whether a given earthquake will generate a dangerous tsunami, but the process is not yet fully understood. (Image credit: Connie France)

So yes, gutting NOAA to score political points isn’t just shortsighted, it’s dangerous. Resilient communities depend on strong science, not defunded agencies.

Life Tip #23: Never turn your back to the ocean.

#23.1: Even if you're looking at an especially marvelous crab.
