San Diego
If you’re an experienced surfer, San Diego’s 70 miles of open ocean shoreline will entice you to paddle out with a range of waves and conditions. San Diego is a great area for beginners to learn how to hang ten. One of the yearly surf contests and events also offers the chance to merely observe San Diego’s surf culture. There is even one to benefit the San Diego Humane Society for “surFUR” four-legged shredders.
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.
