There are very big waves at the Huntington Beach Pier the day after the big earthquake in Chile. The high tide created by the earthquake has caused a big wave day in Huntington Beach, California.

  • actually these waves are caused by a west/north/west swell from alaska and NOT from the earthquake in Chile. The combination of full moon high tide and powerful surge from the swell caused the tide to be extraordinarily high.

  • After reading the comments below i wonder how the heck does such hateful arguments explode over a video such as this!? c'mon people! cant we all just look out into the ocean' horizon in peace!

  • @pbbeachbum09 I saw HB this day(1/17/88) and said F that! I went to Cottons for a 1/2 hour paddle out & 18+ sets, biggest SoCal session I've had. It was the biggest day.

    Cheers mate

  • @ohsaarime17 sorry about it big guy....

  • Sorry January 17, 1988 was the biggest waves to ever hit HB. ONly a handful of us surfing out there. Taking off from a set from north side of the pier 1/2 mile out through the mid and shore break would end you up near 17th or GW. Took 4 waves that day in about 8 hours because the walk back was so long, and the paddle out was insane. Saw guys pinned under the pier the waves were so big.

  • gay ass waves.

  • dude this is pretty minor. you shoulda checked out the reef breaks on that day. that might have at least made for a video worth watching.

  • crazy swell, I wish I was there to see it. The sounds of the waves was soothing too...

  • @RobzaarPS3 Go troll somewhere else asshole
