Best Surf Spot for beginners in San Diego?

Question

I'm a beginner surfer and I learned my lesson earlier today going into a surf that is way beyond my skill level. Which spots are the best to go to learn to surf and what kind of board should I use?

Answer 1

la jolla shores or north side of scripps

Answer 2

try del mar around 15th street and be careful of the better guys out there.  just try to have fun

while learning.

Answer 3

Leucadia Beach (northern San Diego) is perfect for learning. The beach is one of the pretties I have ever seen, with large bluffs and the waves are great for those starting out.

There is a lesson place that uses "soft" boards that are a little softer if they kick up in the waves, highly recommended http://www.leucadiasurfschool.com/

Answer 4

La Jolla Shores is pretty easy, but it can get crouded.

Answer 5

My kids surf everyday of the summer in San Diego. My 14&13year old are pretty good but my six yr old started on Jolla Shores this summer and has found it easy enough.
