Characteristics
  Ha California... Three major Areas:

Northern California: from Del Norte to Marin Counties. Wild and Cold, hard weather, white sharks, big unsurfable groundswells. The land of the hardcore surfers.

Central California: Still hard weather, beautiful coastline, far more options to surf. It's the perfect land for searchers. Prepare your quiver from the beachbreak shortboard to the Maverick gun. Central California is wild, Central California is beautiful, Central California is surfable...

South California: The modern surf area. Always somewhere to surf. Frequency but lack of consistency. Good weather, fun waves, crowds: the place where you need to be !

Surfing for Beginners
Now's a great time to try out surfing as the crowds are beginning to die down, but the weather isn't too cold yet. Try La Jolla Shores or Old Man's. I'm reviewing some more beaches for beginners on my Read - (51) Comments concerning surfing in USA California.
