did your break make this list????

not what i would consider my go-to break, as i usually head south 35 minutes to rhode island... but #3 -nauset lighthouse cape cod- i have surfed a handful of times. I never surfed it in the winter, but may try to make it over there this winter for some barrels.

 

thankfully, no.

 

yup... #10.

 

My break made the top 10 worst places to live as a surfer.

 

Dumbest article ever...

 

Written by Midwesterners, for Midwesterners.

 

Okay, I get blacks, but Oside harbor? Really? Top 10....?

 

This looks like they just copied surf spots off a swellinfo or surfline and tossed them into a hat. Pick ten and write and article about it. If this is a travel guide for winter surfing, why mess with the east coast? I can think of some tropical locations I much rather hit.

Now this is a much more interesting beach article....

 

This should say how to get killed trying to surf waves you can't handle.

 

"Hey surfers, break out the neoprene wetsuits, raise your boards and jog into winter's gnarliest waves."

Fortunately, no.

 

I don't think anyone can stand on a surfboard will have trouble handling cocoa beach.

 

Depends when you go, it's like any other beach break when it's firing

 

exactly. nobody is coming to ak to surf in the winter. if it's a stellar day and you're here, you'll paddle out but traveling all this way to surf slushy waves with ice floes in heavy freezing spray? it's mountain time up here now, not ocean time.

 

good, no one new this winter. phew.

 

Well yeah, I'm sure Puerto and Lowers would rank ahead of Cocoa, not arguing that, but as far as E. Coast goes, it's as good as anywhere else when the conditions are right. I bounce back and forth between New Smyrna / Ponce Inlet and Cocoa, i'll be staying off NSB this weekend, looks like chest to shoulder+ with light offshores all weekend, ideal if you ask me...

 

I always assumed Lowers was a point, learn something new everyday I guess.

 

All of trestles is a cobblestone reef break... You could call it a beach break, but to me its a classic california rock reef. The cobblestones make it what it is and the river-mouth that lets the sand collect on them. The cobblestones are not sharp at all, but I will be damned if I dont slip and almost break an ankle on those damn things everything i walk back in from a session there.

But its not a point break either... Many refer to the San Clemente area as point, but its not a true point at all...

Ohh, my 2 cents of the day with regards to trestles that ALWAYS bugs me, is that the break itself is in SAN DIEGO county, not San Clemente like everyone from Surfer Magazine to Surfline refers to it as being in OC... When you park by lowers and take the trail down, you can look directly north and see the Exact "WELCOME TO OC" sign which is a couple hundred yards north and heading south from OC you will see "WELCOME TO SAN DIEGO COUNTY" almost half a mile north of where the surf break actual is located. its the exact county line.... Lower Trestles is in fact in San Diego County... Albeit far from Oceanside or any SD town, it is NOT in Orange County... =)
