About
Lost Winds, tucked below the bluffs of San Clemente, California, offers a sandy beach-break where the waves roll in both right and left. With a swell that comes alive at 6 feet and holds power through mid-tide, it’s a playground for surfers seeking rippable sections amidst the occasional tube. The path down is steep, a challenge that rewards the diligent with less crowded waters and stunning sunsets. Volleyball courts and a distant lifeguard tower add a touch of community to this hidden gem, beloved by locals who cherish its laid-back vibe away from the tourist throngs.
