Newport Beach, California.

Photographer states :: This wave crested at around 12 feet on Friday. This series is from the Southern Hemi swell that hit SoCal this weekend 9-16/9-17. The sets seen here at the "Wedge" in Newport Beach were exceptionally high with some rogue waves hitting as high as 20-22' high. The swell is starting to fade but should last through tomorrow evening.
