I surfed the north end of Bethany (6th St.?) a number of times last year and had great waves. After they moved all of that sand around, it was my impression that things got funky, so I've been heading straight to OC the last couple of months. I am thinking I should check it out again, but would be interested in what others have to say.
As with most spots you are better off to check it out personally & then if it's good NOT tell everyone. Most people don't want to advertise for more people @ any particular break.
