Regional Surf Guides
local knowledge, by region
Featured
Orange County Guide
HB pier, Newport wedge, Trestles. Peaks year-round, offshore in the morning.
Read the guideSouthern California
Dawn patrol points, summer south swells, and the grind of Lowers on a Tuesday.
San Diego
Reefs from Blacks to Big Rock. Fires on WNW groundswell; crowded when it's small.
Northern California
Cold water, big power. Mavericks looms; Ocean Beach eats boards and beginners.
Puerto Rico
Rincon is the winter groundswell magnet. Aguadilla, Domes, Tres Palmas on a NW pulse.
Hawaii
North Shore November through February. Summer south swells wrap to Waikiki's walls.
Oregon
Heavy, cold, and uncrowded. Indian Beach for intermediates, Short Sands for the rest.
Santa Cruz
Steamer Lane when a NW fills in. Pleasure Point for glass, Davenport for size.
Ventura & Santa Barbara
Rincon lights up on a winter W. Jalama for the brave, C-Street for the rest.
Florida
Hurricane season is Christmas. Sebastian and New Smyrna when the Atlantic wakes up.
Outer Banks
Nor'easters turn the cape into barrels. S-turns sandbars shift every storm.
New Jersey
Manasquan to Cape May. Beach-break barrels when a NE hits and the banks line up.
