Long Beach
Edit SpotAbout
The Long Beach Surfrider and other organizations are trying to get rid of the Break Water. You can ride about their efforts here: http://www.lbsurfrider.org/
Atmosphere:
Rarely breaks! This place used to have surf before the Break Water was added in the 40s.
Additional Info:
Due to the Long Beach Breakwater, this area rarely gets any swell. 72nd only breaks on a South with enough West to get into this area. Almost every place in the area will be better than this so why waste your time.
