Longboarding around LA?

Question

I live in Long Beach (originally from San Diego), I have an 8'4" board, and I'm not very experienced. I'm searching for a longbarding spot and I'm not finding one. I've tried a few beaches south of here and it all seems like shortboard waves. I've heard the same about the beaches west of LA. I've heard San Onofre is where I wanna go, and Doheny used to be good before the pollution, but both are pretty far. Does anyone know of a good beach say north of San Onofre and south of Malibu that is good for a beginning longboarder? Or, maybe, is there a beach that deadens with the tide and might be good for me? Thanks!

Answer 1

Pitus point or faria. It is part of the Ventura state beaches. Great for beginners. San Onofre is really good also. Ventura is a little far but like I said evryone is a beginner there. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Bolsa Chica is just south of long beach and pretty close and mellow

Answer 3

Theres lots of great long board surf spots in

L.A. Check out this website and you can pick for yourself which one is best for you, but as for a suggestion i would say stick with driving the distance and shread at San Onofre, my favorite long board spot in L.A.
