Thats the correct place to began surfing. And of course near of your home, you sould be able of going there as times as you can.

After she can try a bodyboard because it's easy to start to have a good timing with the waves. If you want to start directly with the surf, take a big board, go on small waves day (less than 1meter) and when she layed on the board, push her toward the beach in a wave: she will have directly the sensation of surf. She can even start to stand up.

After this, if she likes it, it's time to start to learn to paddle and cath waves. It's the most difficult thing !
