Biggest? I don't think so.
I was in bigger (and colder, no wetsuit, think it was December, no hard boards or even sponges that day) at the wedge in the early seventies. Started breaking a bit closer to the jetty too.

I read that swells were sometimes measured by how far out the poles on the jetty were broken.

Supposedly,it was so big decades ago that a couple of body surfers were washed over the jetty and into the channel.

I find them to be very complimentary. Not only are they both sports that take over your life and drive passion, but they are both mentally focusing and engaged with nature. Not to mention when your fingers are toast from climbing, surfing is a great workout for larger climbing muscles.
One of the best days I've had is 14 pitches on Tahquitz (whodunnit & the long climb link-up) and a sunset surf sesh in San Diego.
I was originally a surfer though and have recently become addicted to climbing. I even moved into a van to get as much time as I can either surfing or climbing.
If you're interested you can follow on my blog, Dirtbag Beta. I'm hoping it can become more than just a personal blog someday but who knows.

I'll probably see you around lamjus- It looks like we surf some of the same areas.
For me, a dawn patrol at thumping Boca Rio then an afternoon bouldering sesh at Woodson is max synergy.

You can find complimentary aspects in nearly any athletic activity. Some people climb, some surf and a very few do both...neither is even slightly dependent on the other.
