2010 Mavericks Surf Contest took place during one of the largest swells of the year and had very high tides. In this video, spectators were caught between the cliff and a tidal surge. The surge continued along the cliff and pushed through the main spectator area and swept over the adjacent jetty sweeping dozens of people into the Half Moon Bay harbor. Some were hurt with broken bones and cuts as they were swept over the rocks and contest equipment.

  • man just looking at the waves tells you its not safe there... do people know what the sea can do ? The people is eather NOT educated about the sea or there a lot of dumb people in one area.... sad to see

  • @CSIS25 They are just plain dumb, the contest announcer mentioned at least 5 times that spectators should not stand where they were due to high tides and tidal surges, no on listened, which is why you hear laughter from the croud

  • The croud was warned 5 times to no stand in the gap due to tidal surges and a sign was posted...
