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

Shores of Waipi'o Valley

"Waipi'o" means "curved water" in the Hawaiian language. Several large waterfalls fall off the 2,000 ft tall cliffs to feed the river that flows through the valley and into the ocean.
