Seal Beach
Edit SpotAbout
Its ok. It usually closes out by the beach. The river holds up longer. Go have fun. Learn. Whatever.
Atmosphere:
A lot of people go to start learning. Sometimes people get in the way. Lots of longboarders on weekends. Less people in the morning.
Additional Info:
Surf is usually better in the morning and then starts dying a little. Better for long boarding. The jetty is better sometimes. The jetty works good on a big northwest swell. If it is really walled at Bolsa Chica crowds tend to go to jetty. The North side pier is good long board wave, and the South side is good for boogie boarders. Gets super windy most afternoons, polluted and sting rays.
