Guess what, Orange County—Trestles is really in San Diego County—so it is our spot! (I’m joking—I realize that the incredibly generous and very talented surfers from San Clemente and most of southern Orange County are nice enough to share this spot with surfers from San Diego and around the world).
This is a great improver spot and arguably the best place on a good southwest swell tosee some of the world’s best surfers at the top of their game. I love surfing here despite the crowd and so do my kids.
This is about the best place to take your groms and their friends on a surfari in the county. Just remember that dreadful TCA still wants to plow a toll road through San Onofre State Beach.
