About
Dana Point, located along the stunning Orange County coast of California, offers surfers a versatile beach-break experience with both right and left waves breaking over a sandy bottom mixed with rocks. This surf spot is optimal for those looking to tackle barrels in swells that begin working at 2 to 2.5 meters (6 to 8 feet) and holds impressive waves up to 3 meters (10 feet) and beyond, particularly during the rising mid tide. With a rich surfing history, dating back to its recognition as the birthplace of the world's first surf shop, Dana Point is not only a prime surfing destination but also an iconic spot steeped in California coastal culture.
