About
At 40th Street in Newport Beach, the waves roll in with a classic regional quality, breaking both right and left off the breakwater. This sandy-bottomed spot starts to work with swells under 3 feet, holding strong up to 8 feet, best surfed at low to mid tide when the tide rises. The surf here is a tad more powerful than the nearby jetties, offering little left peelers that call for the seasoned rider. Expect a packed lineup, but the allure of barreling waves under the sun makes it worth the hustle.
