The water ranges from flat to waves (depending on swell). There is a reef that is great on a large swell with low tide. As Poche blows sideshore from the north (Doheny), the waves on the reef can be very fun if the conditions align. Otherwise, there are not many surfers in small swell (under 4-6 feet). The beach/launch spot is compact but sandy. There are some bigger rocks when you enter the water in front of the beach club that are exposed at low tide. Otherwise, no issues. Everything else is blackballed and watched over by lifeguards. South Orange County does not have consistent wind. Many days it will stay below 10 mph. It's best to have a 20 m kite ready for this spot. When it's blowing in the spring through fall (about 5-10 days month) it will go from about 12-18 mph. Above that is pretty rare. After storms in fall through spring, can get above 20 mph. It's usually side onshore (northwest), but don't kite in South wind unless it's during storm as this wind is not consistent. South Orange County is very temperate and has nice weather all year. Water: Flat, Smallwave, Mediumwave. Features: Shop, Rescue, Food. Rider ability: Intermediate, Expert.
