9 Minutes of South Bay Closeout Barrels

There's nothing in surfing like barrels. And even closeout barrels are fun to watch. Here's nine minutes of barrels that don't stay open in the South Bay.

BY Brad Jacobson | Community

I love filming chaotic barrels and the surfers that charge them. This quick swell, which hit May 16, 2026, provided me with a super-fun morning of filming barrels in the South Bay of Los Angeles. And even if they don’t stay open, it’s still pretty fun to watch barrels of any kind. Thanks for watching!
