Family trip to Disneyland, where to surf?
Not a complete kook but pretty close, no rental car, staying close to Disneyland. Hoping to show up somewhere via taxi or public transit, rent board/suit, have a sesh, taxi back.
Huntington? Newport? Tips, suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

So, I have never caught Huntington on a good day. A nugget a local mag passed on to me was that you have to catch it in the morning, before the wind turns onshore.

I guess. I've never stayed Huntington, so I'm never there close to early. Trestles stays nice most days, even in the afternoon. I guess it's not a "shitty" beach break, though.

Good luck getting waves at trestles tho if you're "pretty close to a kook"
I've surfed the Oregon coast my whole life and when I went to trestles 3 years ago it was eye opening. Every wave is a paddle battle. I would not recommend upper trestles for a beginner, and don't even waste your time at lowers.

Surfed Lower Trestles on Thurs & Fri, maybe 10 guys out. Winter is a different animal at Trestles, the WNW swells don’t hit the point the way the SW swells do in the summer so it spreads out the crowd. Plus, all the kool kids aren’t in town yet so you can longboard without catching shit.
Summer/Fall on the other hand...
PM me if you need anything, board, wetsuit, tour guide, etc..."In a perfect world I'd have all 10 fingers on my left hand, so I could just use my right hand for punching."

Still at home, likely to be sunday or monday (next week) before we have a chance to hit the beach.
Thank you for your generous offer, I just might take you up on part of it once we figure out which day will work best...
Is Magic seaweed the best place to check conditions?
Thanks again to everyone who took the time to respond.
