Location guide

Trestles, a well-regarded surfing spot in the United States, beckons surfers with its distinctive wave patterns and ideal conditions. A cherished treasure of Southern California, Trestles is specifically located in San Clemente, stretching from San Onofre State Beach to San Mateo Point. This surfing haven is highly appreciated for its wave consistency and the multitude of breaks it offers, making it an exciting allure for surfers of all levels. The most significant feature of Trestles is that the surfing conditions stay optimal for the majority of the year. The wave consistency is primarily due to the underwater bathymetry, which comprises mainly cobblestones that filter the swells and create a fine balance of tapered shoulders and peaky sections in the waves. This feature also contributes to shaping a variety of waves, catering to both high-performance maneuvers and longboarding nose rides. The water temperature generally ranges from 60 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit, ideal enough for a comfortable surfing experience. The Trestles spot is broken down into five primary breaks: Cottons, Uppers, Middles, Lowers, and Church. Lowers, the most popular break, is renowned for its high-performance waves that are meticulously formed and evenly dispersed. The right and left breaks offer surfers the flexibility and challenge to ride the waves as per their preferred style. The right-handers are longer and slower, while the left ones are faster and steeper, needing a quick drop and maneuver. While Trestles is a haven for the surfers, it demands a bit of a trek to reach. A fifteen-minute walk from the parking area takes one through a scenic trail dotted with foliage. However, it can get quite crowded due to its popularity, particularly during the competition season when it often hosts professional surf tours. While the crowd can be influential in terms of competition’s ambiance, for the average surfer, it could mean fewer opportunities to catch waves freely. In summary, Trestles is indeed an invigorating blend of natural aesthetics and adrenaline-filled wave conditions. With its consistent waves, varied breaks, and energetic atmosphere, it continues to capture the hearts of surfers worldwide. Despite the added challenge of the crowd, the exceptional surfing experience it offers is undeniably worth the effort.
