Laguna Beach

Laguna Beach is a compact reef-and-pocketed-beach zone whose rock outcrops can fire fast, hollow lefts and rights - great when a long WNW swell wraps into the coves and the east-northeast breeze lays down.

🌊

The Wave

Best surf arrives on long WNW-SW groundswells with light ENE-E winds.

Many breaks work across tide stages but mid to rising tides often open the shoulders best for longer rides.

Lineup Guide

Rock outcrops (Rockpile, Brooks, Thalia) create punchy peaks and submerged hazards - expect closeouts and shallow takeoffs near ledges.

Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
