One of the top surfing spots in California, if not the entire United States, is undoubtedly Santa Cruz. For those who are more experienced, Cowell’s Beach is a step up from Pleasure Point and Capitola Beach. 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.
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.
