Big surf at the Wedge in Newport Beach drew surfers and thrill seekers Thursday.
South-facing beaches were being hit with high surf -- some of the breakers at the Wedge were as high as 20 feet.
These are the biggest swells of the season so far and they are expected to continue through Friday morning.
