Wild Surf at the Jetty
Photographer Laurie Jensen snapped these photos while she was at the South Jetty on Wednesday. She writes:
I took 400 surfer photos in 2 hours at the South Jetty of the surfers. They were having a blast, and I was in 7th heaven watching and getting photos.

That last photo is so beautiful.
That last picture of the curl is fantastic. Beautiful pictures. Where is the South Jetty?
eat creepy Mike
You go out Hookton to the end – keep going – and going. It’s soulful.
the wave is on the northside. you can sit on the dune for safe viewing. this wave is created by a shoal that is about 15 feet deep.
I’m confused by the angle. Was the photographer on the beach (or maybe a bluff)? I don’t think that she could have been standing on the south jetty although I haven’t been on the south side in more than twenty years.
North jetty.
Sorry dude, I was on the South jetty!!!
big lens. the article says from South jetty. I thought maybe a jet ski until I read it.
Sitting in truck on the South jetty using a Nikon COOLPIX L820 camera with 30xZoom I can take a awesome shot 8 miles away with the right lighting conditions
I would say laurie, you Know ‘lighting conditions’.
Thank you for sharing your experiences, displayed in art form, with us . .
~just grand.
I was on the South jetty, only place to get the perfect shot of these swells as they crash on the North side
Amazing photos!
Tubular dude.
Thank you Shak. I live for moments I can catch the perfect pipe in the swell, surfers are the bonus in my book
Who dat say dat? Hoedad say dat?
This is a photo of Jake, an acquaintance from surfing around here. I took a screen shot of this photo and sent it to him, however, I’m sure he’d be stoked to see maybe a sequence of this wave. Can we view your photos from that day elsewhere?
Thanks
please dont post photos of humboldt county surf, crowded enough as it is
yup i was waiting for someone to say that. Lived on the jetty for almost 20yrs(every day fishing not surfing) and never told anyone about the surf. to many surfing buds.
Wrong it’s from the south Jetty looking North
Hi Laurie,
Your photo of this spot is both amazing and rare. I am self-publishing a book about surfing and would love to use that last photo with your permission. I can’t pay at this time, but I could send you a free copy of the book when finished.
