About
Del Mar Jetty, nestled in the heart of Orange County, offers a regional classic surf experience where waves break both right and left, on a sandy bottom that can cradle barrels when the swell hits just right. The spot thrives on northwestern to southwestern swells, coming alive under low to mid tides, particularly on a rising tide that cradles the surf. With waves that start working at under three feet and can reach over ten, it calls out to those who seek the thrill of a good barrel ride. Though it can get crowded, the mix of wave conditions and local charm keeps the spirit of surfing alive along Avenida Del Mar.
