SUP surf at Newport Beach??
« on: February 15, 2016, 04:32:22 PM »
Hi all. I'll be at a conference this week in Garden Grove and I may have a chance to sneak away for a late afternoon session on Wed. Looks like the nearest place to go would be Newport Beach. I'm bringing my own board (driving up from San Diego) so renting isn't a consideration. Are they SUP friendly at NB?

Thanks!

Huntington Beach Pier, Goldenwest and Bolsa Chica are closer to Garden Grove.

Anywhere north on HB pier and you are good to go.  HB is know for being blown out by noon.  Newport Pier may work late afternoon is there is any swell, it's less exposed to wind.

Newport Pier is flat right now.  Santa Ana River Jetty has a little surf.  Huntington Beach Pier, or spots north, will have the best size.  The swell is too long interval to make it into Newport from that direction.  I'd offer to show you around, but I have to be out of town then.
