SoCal Surf

I have a brother in fontanna that I go and visit. I was looking for a good place to boggie board, so not really big waves but decent ones. So far we have tried oceanside and redondo beach and their waves were really small. Also a plus is the big waves but not right close to the shore. So kids can play close to shore and its not a steep drop off and go from shallow to deep rapbidly. I know dana point was a steep drop off at the camp ground.

Thanks for all your help.

Re: SoCal Surf

It depends where you wanna go, You can go anywhere from Malibu which has beautiful scenery, mid size waves and its somewhat cleaner, but sometimes they have a lot of kelp and the sand is a little more coarse. Venice is small waves and really dirty water, a lot of seals also. El Porto which is right behind LAX and next to El Segundo is dirty (Filtration plants) like Venice also and small waves. Manhattan Beach is really nice, north side of pier is for bodyboarders, south side of pier is for surfers, I've ridden a 12ft face and got barreled here, during storm season waves have been known to touch the bottom of the pier, swells were really nice in early morning hours. Hermosa Beach is not as good as Manhattan but way better than Redondo. Long Beach is dirty (shipping ports) and small waves. Seal Beach is ok more for the somewhat advanced, north side is for swimmers, south side is for bodyboarders. Huntington Beach is mostly a locals only spot even though they have surf competitions here, not too much for bodyboarding. Newport beach is also very nice, "The Wedge" is for the really advanced and not for the faint of heart, Youtube it. you can go to the Newport jetty's around 42nd St. really nice, like having your own personal spot to board, encountered Dolphins within arms reach. I ride a Toobs Bomber with a crescent tail. Hope this helps.

Torrance beach, redondo beach, Hermosa. Then for the bigger waves people will go down to san calmente. Tons more around, but thoes are the few im most familiar with. Do you have a board? The waves are hit or miss, you gotta check the reports. Redondo beach has had some waves bigger than most people would ride.

Another good bodyboarding spot you might want to take a look at is T-Street (Trafalgar Street) in San Clemente. It's about 1/2 mile south of the San Clemente Pier.

I've been into bodyboarding since I was a kid. Unfortunately I live in New England and not close to the beach so my chances to go are infrequent. Also work and kids etc put a damper on that too. I'd love to go out to Cali some day.
