Colors
After a week of La Niña storms and pouring rain followed by gale force winds (thought the big California Palm trees would come crashing down all over) surf was "Victory at Sea" until the last couple of days.

Spring break .. usually a down time in Southern California as there is a lull period .. the end of storm swells from the far North West and just the beginning of action from the Southern Hemisphere .. but some times you get lucky!&nb

Too Much Fun
Known for beginners, tourists, and extreme crowds, a reputation that may keep many away. Hardly a bad vibe, except around the 28th St jetty where I seen more than one conflict. Holds a south wind well and remains more surfable than many other spots. Some day are impossible with crowds and PARKING. Other days are full of grace. Don't miss it.

Ok 4 all of 'the OC' jerks that ever whined about Blackies; obvoiusly you're ALL full of BS!
After 30+ years as a Newport local surfer, this was where I got my first tube ride by the way, here's a spot that when monitored between Dec.-April u can catch it as excellent as ANY So.Cali beach-break gets when it works! End of story, it's all up 2 u people now, I've since that time retired from surfing. Go 4 it!!

fun spot
Blackies is one of my favorite spots, it doesn't break very often but when it does it is a fun wave. it gets very crowded on the weekends and alot of beginner longboarders are there, which i'm completely cool with (everyone was a beginner once). i ride a 6' fish their just for a fun and relaxed ride. on a normal day the waves are very mushy and forgiving but still have some push behind them. bring quarters, the parking police are ruthless.
