Blackies in Newport Beach, California
Blackies is a consistently fun stretch of beach break sitting between Newport Pier & 28th Street. The spot gets its name from the historic bar, Blackie's By The Sea, which has been there since the early '50s. In the '60s, the beach became a hub for longboarding in Southern California. Depending on the conditions and the time of year, there are plenty of waves to be found that are not only suited for some prime logging, but everything else in between. It's one of those California spots that can feel like magic when the ocean turns glass and the sky turns pink.
Brooks Street in Laguna Beach, California
The rocky reefs at Brooks Street in Laguna Beach are a magnet for South swells and make this one of the best spots in the area during the summer and fall. The public art installation on the concrete step benches by Marlo Bartels serve as a funky amplitheater for those who'd prefer to watch.
Doheny State Beach in Dana Point, California
Doheny State Beach was donated by oil tycoon, Edward L. Doheny, and became California's first state beach in 1931. It's a great mellow surf spot, and looking at the waves there today it's hard to believe it used to be known as Killer Dana, which was once a big, heavy right before the harbor began construction in 1966.
Huntington Beach Pier in Huntington Beach, California.
It wouldn't be a surf poster series without "Surf City's" Huntington Beach Pier. It's a consistent wave that can get really great with the right conditions. The old Ruby's diner atop the concrete pier footing makes for an iconic backdrop to the U.S. Open of Surfing every year.

Lower Trestles is one of the best, most crowded waves in the state for good reason. Like many breaks around San Onofre, the drive nor the hike to the beach is enough to keep people away. Hard to beat the quality of the waves and the environment.
Rockpile in Laguna Beach, California.
Laguna Beach's rocky coves and hidden beaches make for a great place to explore and relax. The vibe and risk of surfing at Rockpile varies depending on the tide, but tends to remain on the higher side. The large rocky reef jutting out of the water as the wave breaks and barrels around it does make for a pretty cool visual though.
Salt Creek in Dana Point, California
Salt Creek is a beautiful beach that features a variety of fun setups for surfing depending on where on the beach you paddle out. From lefts and rights, pointbreaks and shorebreaking barrels, Salt Creek is certainly not lacking in choice of wave. And it's a definite step up in quality and size from it's neighbor Doheny to the south. Or, if the surf is no good, lounging on the sand or the big bluffside park is not a bad option either.
San Onofre in San Diego County, California.
Amidst the backdrop of the decommissioned San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station are some of the best of California's classic surf breaks. Lots of long rolling waves and plenty of fun to be had.
Seal Beach Pier in Seal Beach, California.
Seal Beach is a cool little town with a lot of history at the farthest west corner of Orange County. The Seal Beach Pier is the second longest wooden pier in the state, and can help to shape up the surf during the proper swells. Most of the time, the waves are fairly mellow and inviting, but can get pretty big and heavy in the winter too. The structure of the pier, jetties on either end of the beach, and the shifting sandbars all combine to give this little 1.5 mile stretch of beach many different wave personalities depending on the conditions.
T-Street in San Clemente, California
T-Street beach sits at the terminus of Trafalgar Canyon in San Clemente and is home to a few more specific breaks made up of various rock reefs, sandbars, and kelp beds to help shape the different waves that break here. The tile-decorated pedestrian bridge takes you over the train tracks and onto this classic Southern California stretch of sand just south of the pier, accented by California palms and consistent waves. Not a bad place to spend your days at all.
The Wedge in Newport Beach, California
The Wedge is another iconic Southern California spot that needs no introduction. On a big south swell, the jetty acts as a backboard that spring loads 10-20' bowly wave faces right next to shore.
