TOP SURF SPOTS:
Generally speaking, most people would concede that these are some of the best surf spots.
Now, we aren't surfers and we'd be happy to take input as to other sites
that should be listed- input taken here!
If you don't surf, these are beautiful areas to watch those who do surf or
to just enjoy the beautiful scenery.
We've listed them from the south in Pt. Loma to the north in San Clemente.
Sunset Cliffs-Point Loma
Tourmaline-Pacific Beach
Windansea-La Jolla
Pipes-Cardiff-by-the-Sea
Moonlight Beach-Encinintas
Swami's-Encinitas
Carlsbad State Beach
Trestles-San Clemente
Often you will hear the terms: south or west facing beaches. The terms describe the direction of the swell that they receive. The swells can be affected by direction, islands, reefs, and many other geographic formations.
Examples: Windansea and Trestles are south-facing beaches. Pipes, Cardiff and much of Del Mar are all west facing swells. Swami's gets north facing swells.
RECOMMENDED VIEWING: If you just want to sink into your armchair and just watch some great surfing, look no further than this awesome DVD, Step into Liquid.
