The backwash is the water going back to sea, just like a rip (or a riptide for you Americans). That's why the first wave of a set is usually the best to catch as far as avoiding backwash is concerned.
Perfectly timed disaster is too long of a name and not catchy, since the place is called the Wedge, then obviously this occurrence should be called a "Wedgie", *applause* thank, thank you....You're welcome, haha
@sk8m4f14 SEAL BEACH A SECRET SPOT???? NOT. ONLY BREAKS LIKE 2-4 TIMES A YEAR. NOT GOING TO KNOCK IT CUZ THAT WAS MY BREAK BACK IN THE DAY 89-98 . ... but its not a secret spot. SOUTH SIDE DUDE.
