Tropical Storm Iselle Brings Exceptional Surf to Newport Beach

Tropical Storm Iselle's swell made a significant impact on the Southern California coast, particularly at Newport Beach, where surfers experienced exceptional conditions.

The storm generated a powerful south swell that led to a remarkable surf day, described by local filmer Brad Jacobson as a rare occurrence for the area. For a few hours, Newport Beach showcased waves that resembled those found in distant locations, providing surfers with numerous barrels.

While some waves proved challenging with no exit, the visual spectacle of the surf was a highlight for those riding the waves, making the experience memorable for Newport surfers.
