About

Long Beach, California, awakens in the swell of the Southwest, where the beach-break rolls like a lazy tide. Here, the waves are a mix of right and left, soft as a whisper, yet they can hold a playful power, peaking at just over three feet. The sandy bottom cradles the soul of the surf, while the choppy conditions offer a test for those willing to wander. With lifeguards on duty, the spirit of the ocean beckons, inviting you to ride the mushball waves beneath the sun.
