Bolsa Chica State Beach
IntermediateBolsa Chica State Beach is a three-mile run of sand beach break along Pacific Coast Highway in Huntington Beach, from Seapoint Avenue north to Warner Avenue. Peaks break left and right and shift with the sandbars. It works best on a southwest groundswell with northeast offshore wind, mid tide is the usual pick, and it tends to close out once the swell gets bigger. The outside waves break slowly, so smaller days suit beginners and longboarders. This pin sits off Tower 21, near the middle of the beach.
