Shell Beach, Ca.
I'm not all that enamoured with the place...but there was no AC in the rooms when I was there (92 or 93 i think)...that should be an excellent time for surf.

All the spots except one will require travel in a car, boat or both. The spot that does not require travel is called San Pancho...it is about a half mile south walking on a very steep beach, in very soft sand. It takes a big south to make a small wave.

I surfed suring the biggest south in recent history (Oceanside Harbor was about 15-18') and the place was about 8-10' faces.

Here's some vidoes of the place:

Honestly? I think there are MUCH better places to go for the same $$$...You might check salani Samoa...in April you WILL socre some heavy ass barrels...guaranteed:
