About The Wedge
The Wedge is a world-famous surf break situated at the eastern end of the Balboa Peninsula in Newport Beach, California. Renowned for its immense and powerful waves, often exceeding 30 feet, it offers a challenging experience for experienced surfers and bodysurfers. The unique wave formation, created by the interaction of ocean swells with a rock jetty, draws crowds seeking thrilling rides and spectating opportunities.
