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 !

choppy but fun - I wish I could have gone out earlier before it got so choppy.  Still had fun on the single fin, had some pretty long rights with a decent amount of wave to work with.  The weather was perfect and the water isn't too cold yet.

From Mar 28, 2008 to Mar 28, 2008
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

depends - on where you go. L.A. area only gets trunkable in Aug. Anywhere north of that is gonna be some sort of wetsuit year round. Anything north of Santa Barbara is most likely 4/3 full suit year round.
