Further south, it is simple to understand why Huntington Beach, California, is known as Surf City USA. It has 16 kilometers of unbroken shoreline and reliable year-round surf. Huntington Beach has hosted multiple annual surfing competitions, including the esteemed US Open of Surfing and NSSA Championships, since Duke Kahanamoku first paddled there in 1922. Due to its combination of history and status as a global center of surf culture, it continues to be one of the most well-known surf places in the world.
Beach Break
Areas in the ocean where the waves break over a sandy bottom are known as beach breaks. The waves at beach breaks are constantly changing because the sand is often shifting because of tides, currents, and storms. You can be surfing flawless peeling lefts one day and close-out waves the next at the same surf spot. The surf break could be in one location one day and 200 yards along the shoreline the next. The constantly shifting bottom produces a very unpredictable and dynamic surf break. Because they have a softer and safer bottom than reef breaks, beach breaks are excellent places for beginning surfers to practice.
