how tall are maverick waves
A few miles north of Half Moon Bay, California, and a quarter-mile off of Pillar Point Harbor, Maverick's qualifies as a natural phenomenon. It is not just a perfect wave, but a perfect 20-foot wave that breaks like a hollow 6-footer, exploding top to bottom with a ferocity that makes brave men shudder. Like a lot of surfers, Half Moon Bay resident Jeff Clark had watched massive waves breaking out on a reef while surfing at nearby Ross' Cove in the '70s.
