About
Cylinders, nestled in the heart of Orange County, California, is a beach break of epic proportions, where the waves rise from 5 to 16 feet, beckoning the skilled and brave. The right-hand barrels unfurl over a sandy bottom, best enjoyed at low to mid tide, as southwest swells roll in with vigor, complemented by easterly winds. Surfers are wise to heed the rip currents that can stir beneath the surface, a reminder of the ocean's untamed spirit. Here, the rhythm of the waves tells a story, one of challenge and reward, waiting for those who dare to ride.
