Complete Guide to Surfing Orange County

Home to Trestles, Huntington Beach, and The Wedge, Orange County sits at the heart of California surf culture. Trestles' cobblestone points are among the best high-performance waves in the world, while HB's consistent beach break hosts the US Open of Surfing every summer. South swells light up Lower Trestles and San Clemente from April through October. Winter brings northwest energy to Huntington and Newport's jetty-enhanced peaks. The Wedge bodysurf break at Newport is a spectacle on south swells - not for the faint-hearted.
