WAVES OVER 20 FEET | Surfing XXL Puerto Escondido

WAVES OVER 20 FEET | Surfing XXL Puerto Escondido

Puerto Escondido has been on fire this month with nonstop swell and clean conditions. Surfline called this swell MayDays at Puerto Escondido. There were some sets pushing the Twenty Foot Plus scale.

Nathan Florence flew in for the swell and had one of the biggest wipeouts we've ever seen at Playa Zicatela. May 17, 2023, seemed to be larger than anticipated and offered XXL peaks, barrels, and pristine offshore winds.

Thank you to Maria Fernada for capturing all the actions. Be sure to visit her website and follow her on Instagram!

Much respect to these Surfer's, charging the Mex pipeline. You have to love and appreciate the locals down there cheering the Surfer's on.👍

Very enjoyable video! Big beautiful waves without all the noise that passes for music on most surf videos I see.

After a few months in Mexico 95 or so we came to this place, I was in the best shape of my life and it seemed relatively small, people were getting tubed, fun, yeah... first wave I took was the last wave I took. It dragged my body on the sand legs arms what not and broke my spirit, make things worse my friends were actually having fun, so yeah, went back to nexpa and tickla, miss Mexico and adventures.

Respect to Nate Florence. He got absolutely destroyed on two waves out there. Even the best surfers in the world can sometimes get crosswise at a place like Puerto Escondido.

The offshore wind make this so challenging. Your trying to get down the face and the wind is pushing you up. Meanwhile you need giant fins to control, but they also slow you down...

Wooah. That's just crazy. @0:33 the crest of the wave falls down on the water surface in 1, 07-1, 09 secundes. With the free fall formula (h=0, 5*g*t^2) you get h = 0, 5 * 9, 81m/s^2 * (1, 08s)^2 = 5, 7m (18, 7ft). That the surfer is abel to ride this wave so controlled and calm is just amazing....

@6:09 perhaps the most beautiful, nearly divine wave ive ever seen

[jonathanstrauss]

Walls if death most are close outs. Puerto escondido is nightmare fuel... it always is when the waves are this big. if the wave doesn't destroy you the riptides will disappear you. I can't understand how anyone finds this fun....scary af. I love to watch. 😮

🌊Too close to shore! Great drop in! Too many Closeouts!

How do you surf 30 ft of glass? I was in Puerto and could not believe my eyes.

[philipprovance]

I think I saw two guys Make Waves the registrar just taking off and eating it except for the boogie Boarders

[gottawatch]

Definitely seen videos of this place with cleaner faces. That cross chop was messing them up. The dudes that were just dropping in and going straight were like “FAWK thisss!”

[joebrophy]

Great footage. Who pays for the lifeguard services there? As a visiting surfer, is there is place to make a donation for having these lifeguards.
