About
Newport Point, located just south of the Newport Pier at 17th Street, offers a steep beach break that can produce world-class barrels, especially when hurricane swells roll in. The waves break both right and left, but they often close out, demanding respect and skill from those who dare to ride them. Best surfed at mid to low tide, the spot thrives on south-southeast swells, showcasing its true potential during the summer months. Access is straightforward: follow Newport Blvd until you hit 17th Street, where the ocean awaits, though be prepared for the inevitable crowds that flock to this gem in Orange County.
