From Huntington Beach down to San Clemente, Orange County features some of the best surf spots in the world. If you’re itching to catch a wave, these beaches will not disappoint.
- San Onofre State Beach, San Clemente
Known to locals as “San O” or “Old Man’s Beach,” this surfing retreat offers waves that are steady, but mild enough for beginners.
- The Wedge, Newport Beach
Because The Wedge has the potential for such large waves, you may see as many bodysurfers as regular surfers showing off their skills at this Newport hot spot.
- Doheny State Beach, Dana Point
Doheny is an ideal beginner’s surf spot thanks to its swell-taming jetty, but offers intermediate riders a solid experience as well.
- Bolsa Chica State Beach, Huntington Beach
Of course, this infamous Surf City USA beach makes our list with its waves that are usually slow and small and tend to break softly, creating an easier face to ride.
- Lower Trestles, San Clemente
The best time to surf Lower Trestles is in the summer, when dominant swells come from the southwest. However, due to the classic reef/point break, easy paddle-outs, and endless wave faces, surfers can also enjoy this spot year-round.
