Wild Waves at The Wedge in Newport Beach

This post was originally published on this site

High surf and rip currents were the watchwords this week as the National Weather Service issued a high surf advisory for beaches from San Diego to Ventura counties through Thursday morning.

NB Indy photographer Lawrence Sherwin was at The Wedge at the end of the Balboa Peninsula on Wednesday and captured these photos of the wild waves (some as high as 12 feet) –and the wild surfers riding them.
