Surfside, Sunset, and Bolsa Chica Beaches offer around six miles of coastline that feature mostly average beach breaks. It's pretty easy to find your own peak here, so you don't have to worry too much about crowded waves. The vibe is laid-back, making it a decent spot to spend a day if you’re looking for a chill surf session.

This place works best with small south-west swells and is ideal at low to mid tide, especially when the wind is coming from the northeast. You can catch waves that break in both directions—left and right—over soft sand. The best swell directions are south and north-west, and it can handle swell sizes starting from about 1 foot (0.3 meters). The waves here are generally more suited for intermediate surfers looking to enjoy a relaxed session without too much hassle.

Besides the surf, Bolsa Chica State Beach is right next to a 300-acre wetland preserve, which gives it a nice natural backdrop. It's a good spot for those looking to enjoy both the waves and a bit of nature. Remember to check the wind and tide conditions before heading out for the best experience!
