Was dating a girl who was from there, but lived in LA. Went up a few times when her parents were out of town. Was chasing the booty, not the surf.

World's worst / your least favorite waves?

Sebastian Inlet, Spanish House, and Reef Road to me are shadows of their former selves. The water, sun, swell, and wind are the same, and the beaches don't necessarily look that different. The sandbars, on the other hand...eek.
I think Hermosa specifically and Centro in general are way overrated by Floridians.
If someone tried to talk me into Windansea I'd compromise by saying drop me off near Black's and tell me what time to be back on the side of the road.
Scripps would be the same plan as Windansea and I'd expect a blowie for knowing it and/or Linda Mar exist and not living in California. Although I could see myself surfing Linda Mar after getting beatswept at OB, I think I'd skip Scripps.
Pismo is population next to nothing in the middle of nowhere. There's probably a spot called Suckaclamsdickquick somewhere in Rhode Island that's more famous just on account of Boston, NYC, Connecticut, and Providence. There's barely enough people in Pismo for there to be a road for it to be the shitty beachbreak at the end of.

Malibu, a mushy rolling pile of poo with the stupidest crowd on the planet.
Sands
More often than not it's "flat" in SB whenever I'm out there visiting a non-surfing friend, If I'm desperate to get a surf in I'll hit sands. It's not even worth the tar on your feet

Most of CR is like that, with just a couple exceptions.
Out front with a walled up south swell on a low tide.
When it's head high wind swell that catches everyone off guard and it's empty and peaks are every where it's my favorite wave.
Panga Drops made a mockery of my surfing 20 years ago.

bars are absolute shyt; just straight flipping you off as you get to your feet.
you wouldn't believe some of the waves and barrels i've had there from time to time over the years but on the whole it's a flat wave.
You're all naming surf spots that have waves.
Pismo is dirty water to sit in and get winded on.

I was going to say the shitty beach break down the street, but then read your disclaimer. But then I remembered the description of said shitty beach break on the webcam page-
"Torrance is famous both for its vibrant-yet-laid back atmosphere and the sheer quality and variety of its waves. Surfers from all over the world make the trek to the coastal city every year, drawn by the prospect of a uniquely memorable surfing experience that only the place can provide. For a growing number of local and international surfers, Torrance has become a Mecca that promises unparalleled excitement and adventure."
So, yeah, my local shitty beach break.
This AM's webcam. Mecca!
Salt Creek.
Yes, I have gotten it good and gotten great waves there, no question. But I have also had way too many sessions with waves that appear good coming in but only back off into nothingness or shift into a closeout. The source of some of my most annoying sessions. And the crowd can get a bit obnoxious about backpaddling. Always feels like I have to do a bunch of crafty sh!t out there to thwart the games.
