It’s little wonder California has become one of the most surf-obsessed regions on the planet with more than 800 miles of coastline directly exposed to the Great Pacific and some of the most famous waves and surf communities in the world. There are a lot of surf spots along the coast, and although there are a lot of breaks along with crowds, you can still find some hidden gems if you look hard enough.
Point Break
At a point break, the shoreline juts out into the water to form a headland. A wave that is lengthy, well-formed, and unlikely to close out or break in front of itself is created when a wave strikes a headland or pier and starts to peel down the extended shoreline. Point breaks typically only have one takeoff point and only travel in one direction, so you might have to wait in line to catch a wave. At these specific surf spots, quality prevails over quantity.
