yo the jettys at alabama point are gnar, but not always rideable, i live in B'Ham AL and i surf, i am orig from Huntington Beach, California and even the waves there are not always perfect, but this place gets some gnarly swell in the fall and spring with the cold fronts. this video is a great example!
I am a Santa Cruz local, but I lived/surfed down there off & on for a bout 6 years betwwen 88 and 96. These conditions are NOT rare for Fall or Spring and this was NOT a Hurricane. These days are formed by cold fronts moving down from Canada. The sad thing is these conditions only last a few hours- timing is EVERYTHING. E, SE or S winds blow 15-25 on-shore & build 6'-8' seas, then the front passes over head (it is awsome to see) it rains, the wind switches NW & you get this for a few hours.

Of course it helps that the most famous Hurricane in many a year was approaching. Katrina was just off the coast.
