Steamer Lane when a NW fills in. Pleasure Point for glass, Davenport for size.

Southern 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.

Orange County

HB pier, Newport wedge, Trestles. Peaks year-round, offshore in the morning.

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.

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.

Nor'easters turn the cape into barrels. S-turns sandbars shift every storm.
