General Overview

Pacific Beach offers a few different waves to choose from. At the southern end of La Jolla (and the northern end of the beach) is PB Point, a slow right which sometimes connects through Tourmaline, which is a longboarder and beginner's paradise and finally a series of average beach break peaks that get faster the closer you get to Crystal Pier.

PB is fun for the crowds but the waves are mediocre. There is free parking in the residential streets but might take a while to find a spot.

fun, average socal beach break surf... lots of people, esp during summer, but always a party on the beach and fun times close by. When there's swell, la jolla reefs are just down the road
