About
Newport Beach, a sun-soaked stretch of Orange County, offers rippable beach breaks where waves dance both right and left over sandy bottoms. With swells originating from the west to southeast, the surf starts to pulse at 2 to 2.5 meters, holding strong over 4 meters, especially during rising tides. The jetties, stretching from 28th to 56th Streets, create varied peaks that cater to all skill levels, while the famed Wedge delivers a heart-stopping spectacle of towering waves crashing close to shore. Expect crowds of surfers and sunbathers alike, as the charm of this locale unfolds beneath blue skies and the call of the ocean.
