Park on the balboa penn. and go to 36th street. Park any where. Then walk down toward the ocean and you will reach the beach. Once on the beach look left and out. You will see the break against the jetty.
This spot is cool to surf my friend lives right on the penn. and I have seen many big names out, like the pres. of Hurrly and the Irons bros. Everybody out there is cool with everyone else. It is fun.
General
It is a fun med. to small left hander and it has some hollow sections. Its really good for off the lips because it is not to fast and it is not to slow.
36th is a fun break, it can get good on WNW swells as well. I'd say Blackies is normally better in the winter though.

its the truth!
i surf newport almost every week, if i'm not, i'm surfing someplace else, but newport is not that great, the entire beach doesnt get good very often, the only reason i surf there is cuz its the easiest beach to get to from my house, i would try huntington if i was a tourist, the waves are almost always slightly bigger. the crowds aret much different, but newport is still a fun place to surf!
