The Wedge is a powerful beach break located at the jetty in Newport Beach, formed by the convergence of natural swells and wave reflections off the Newport Harbor jetty. The unique bathymetry creates distinctive wedge-shaped waves that can reach significant heights and produce intense, fast-moving barrels. The spot is characterized by steep takeoffs, hollow tubes, and heavy water movement that requires substantial surfing experience and water awareness.
