If you like to surf or hit the waves, the infamous “Wedge” in Newport Beach is something you have to experience at least once in your lifetime.  Although The Wedge isn’t classified as a wave, it’s actually a 20 foot plus battering ram that was created by sheer intelligence. The way it heaves, throws, and bends behaves in ways other waves can’t begin to comprehend.  If you look at it up close, you’ll notice that The Wedge is a combination of two waves that join together, resulting in a massive slingshot that is capable of sending anyone flying.

The Wedge takes a swell, but only for a few moments, retracting the swell energy from the jetty then smashing on the beach.  Though it may look like a “humping effect”, as the locals call it, the feel and look of it must be seen to be believed. For many years, The Wedge in Newport Beach has proven to be the best place in the world for surfing.  Over the years, professional body boarders have headed here as well, to test their skill and experience with the one thing that’s very hard to top.

Deadly at all tides, the best time to show up at The Wedge is in the morning or late afternoon, as this is when the tide is at it’s best.  With sizes reaching between 6 and 20+ feet, you have to be on your toes before you even attempt to tame it. If you plan to go surfing or body boarding here, you should also bring your camera, beach chair, swim fins, goggles, and insurance card!  It’s  always best to be prepared, which makes the insurance card great to have – especially when you consider just how powerful
The Wedge truly is.

The best time to visit The Wedge is the summer, as winter may be a bit cold.  As a beginner, The Wedge may be a bit too difficult.  If you have experience, you may even find it to be a bit psychotic.  At any rate, it’s a challenge you won’t soon forget. Nearby, you have many places to eat, such as the  Quick Fix and Worth The Wait.  There are also several places to stay as well, along with places to shop and enjoy yourself.

From surfing to sheer fun watching The Wedge pummel surfers, Newport Beach offers you everything you need to have an excellent stay.  If you enjoy surfing, you simply must visit The Wedge at least once and see if you have what it takes.

During the summer, it’s important to keep your child busy and active even if school is over already. Although it’s time for rest, those two months aren’t meant for your child to be sitting around the house eating and playing video games. The best ways to get your child up and about are by getting them interested in an activity that corresponds to their interests and having generally fun activities lined up as well. Just because school is over, it doesn’t mean that your child has to stop learning. They can learn through various experiences as well during the summer. Sitting them down with textbooks and worksheets may not be the best approach. That is the strength of schools. A parent has other teaching strengths. Use those strengths to enrich your child’s learning in a way they can’t get in school.

Let your child choose some activities that the child will want to do along their own interests and hobbies. If your child likes looking at details and exploring, you can start a collection of sorts. For example, you can start collecting rocks, seashells, leaves, or stamps. If you choose rocks, you can go to different places looking at rocks and you can start to get a few from each trip. You can teach your child to identify what kind of rock it is and they will learn a lot while having fun. Read the rest of this entry »

Choosing where you want to go is half the battle, and once you’ve decided just where you’re going on holiday this year, it’s time to do your homework, get on your computer and find out when the best time of year to go is. For many people, the best time of year could be during the summer months, which is when the most popular tourist destinations will be swamped with tourists, which will mean the price of accommodation, food, flights and transfers will be much more expensive than normal. One way to combat this is to travel during the ‘off season’ which is another name for the quiet season, when fewer people travel there, so the prices of flights accommodation and other necessities will be much cheaper. As a rule the best months for this are just before the summer in April and May and in October, which is when the weather will generally be a little cooler. Read the rest of this entry »
