Local Knowledge & Surf Guide

Local Knowledge

Surfside in Orange County is a sheltered beach break with inconsistent surf, best surfed in winter, particularly January. Optimal conditions occur when west groundswells combine with offshore northeast winds, producing mainly right-breaking waves that are best around low tide. The spot can get crowded when the surf is up. Hazards include locals, pollution, and rips. Despite its inconsistency, Surfside Jetty offers clean, rideable waves during winter, making it an important location for surf forecasting.
