West Jetty View Park is located at the end of Balboa Peninsula in Newport Beach, CA. The park is small, but the beach here is large. The waves at this location are large as well, especially when conditions are right. Local expert surfers hang out here and ride the wave called “The Wedge.” There is a long jetty at the entrance to Newport Bay that sticks out from the beach and the reflected wave energy creates a huge swell – sometimes up to 30 feet high! Bodysurfers, surfers, kneeboarders, and bodyboarders have been using this man-made barrel wave for many years. They are very fun to watch from the beach.
