T Street is known for one thing — consistency. The entire West Coast from Jordan River to Cabo could be flat, and T Street, the central hub for San Clemente’s finest, would manage to cough up a wave or two that would make a surfer happy. There are a lot of things that help T Street break: sandbars, reefs, rocks and odd seaweed gardens all contribute to the wave’s quirky behavior. It’ll transform from San O’ to mini-Backdoor in the time it takes to do a bottom turn. Although the T Street fanatics have many different names for every hole in the reef, the break is typically divided into three spots: the Reef, Cropley’s and Beach House.On a strong S swell, lefts hit the outside reef, break slowly, then peel over the inside rock shelf, bowling in a fast, down-the-line section. On winter swells, you get the opposite: long, workable rights off the reef ending in a collapsing shorebreak. Cropley’s is strictly a winter break. Named after the owner of a tasty hamburger stand that no longer exists, Cropley’s provides fast, zippy righthand peaks just north of the snack bar. Some swear it’s T Street’s best wave when it’s on — which isn’t very often. It takes just the right swell direction from the NW. South of the overpass, there’s a sandbar that old locals call the Beach House, named after a candy shack that once stood there. On medium-size swells, you can catch some wedgy lefts and rights that are often less crowded and more geared toward shortboards and bodyboards. T Street is a longtime haven for bodyboarders and San Clemente’s top pros
Offering forgivably rippable walls going either way, Lower Trestles only closes out on the rarest of swells.
If there’s a sniff of south swell in the water, Lowers will welcome it with open arms. But if there’s a puff of south wind, Lowers will shut down quicker than 5:00pm on Wall Street.
Don’t expect to score Lowers uncrowded either (even on full moon nights). Watch any set roll through and you’ll see two (or more) surfers taking off in either direction, which often makes things frustrating for even the biggest name pro surfers. But if you manage to wrangle one to yourself, hold on because you’re in for one of the best rides Southern California can offer.
San Onofre State Beach is the Waikiki of the California Coastline — a beginner’s paradise of gentle breaking waves, long sandy beaches and an absence of ego. Today, it is one of the last few beaches that epitomizes the California surfing lifestyle. On any given summer weekend, you can find a whole tribe of surfers playing volleyball, talking story and swilling beer under grassy huts or sitting hunched over their longboards, waiting for the next lazy peak to float their way. Locals divide San Onofre into three main breaks: the Point, Old Man’s and Dogpatch. All work best on a strong south swell. If you must bring a shortboard to San O’, which, by the way, is the equivalent of bringing a longboard to Teahupoo, the Point would be your best bet. The Point is located directly in front of the northernmost parking spot. On a head-high southwest swell, there are some relatively fast lefts (fast in San Onofre terms) and even a section or two to hit if you get lucky. Rights are far more predominant and can be milked with a funboard or longboard. During winter, the Point often shuts down. With a 15-minute paddle to the south of Point, you’ll find yourself in the surfing world’s equivalent to the movie Cocoon. Here at Old Man’s, geezers rule and grommets learn. The wave rolls off a padded reef some 200- to 400-yards offshore and is mushier than a bowl of cream of wheat. A longboard that’d float Shaquille O’Neal is the weapon of choice and surfing etiquette does not apply. In fact, it’s not uncommon to see 10 people on a wave during the summer, nor is it rare to see lawn chairs and dogs brought on board. Just south of Old Man’s is Dogpatch. It’s ideal for beginners if the swell is up and they cannot make the paddle out to Old Man’s. On a high tide, Dogpatch breaks in slow motion and is second to Doheny as Orange County’s easiest wave to learn on. All of San Onofre’s waves are typically indecisive about breaking. If you understand this point, you’ll be well ahead of the game. Waves here like to crest, back off, crest, back off, crest, back off and then finally break. Trying to find your “one last wave” of the day can be a good trial in anger management. But if you find yourself ready to spout, you’ve missed the point. San O’ is there to remind us that in this crowded world, there’s still a spot where we can all ride together with smiles on our faces.
If you aren’t aware of what existed before it, Doheny is an ideal beginner’s wave. Swells slip past the swell-choking jetty, break softly over a bed of cobblestones and form into slow shoulders. A few hundred yards southeast, by the San Juan Creek, there’s a sandbar and reef that break better on stronger swells. If you can withstand the sky-high fecal counts, it’s these types of bars that’ll quench the thirst. Those days are all too rare, though, so Doheny, if anything, will serve as great place to introduce your child to his/her first wave.

T STREET SURF SHOP San Clemente Surfboard Rentals SAN CLEMENTE, CALIFORNIA
San Clemente has two very distinct faces. The idealized one is a core surf town where the streets are lined with Trestles cobblestones and Mayhems. Where the ghosts of San Onofre OG’s Tom Blake and Doc Ball might give you a tour of the hallowed halls of Surfer and Surfing Magazine’s original offices pointing out iconic imagery that created and sustained the surf industry for decades. You might stop by the Astrodeck warehouse and get a history-drenched sermon from Dibi and Herbie Fletcher and take a walkabout through the shaper’s ghetto with Timmy Patterson and Matt Biolos. Or Cole Simler and Terry Senate if you want a thicker coat of foam dust on your shoes. You might take a peak at the Surfing Heritage Museum’s collection of historic surfboards or check in with the Pezman’s at The Surfer’s Journal offices. You might wrap this day up with a double feature screening of Jeff Neu’s San Clemente Locals and Lost Across America: The Decline.
You would squint your eyes and look out at T Street and see vintage Dino Andino and Matt Archbold going vert on their backhands and leaning way back on their forehands. You might see Nathan Fletcher or the Long brothers punting on closeouts at State Park. Riviera would be full of Gudauskas smiles and Rozunko shakas. Lowers sets would be split by Chris Ward and and his pal and temporary Florida transplant Cory Lopez filming for a new Lost flick. Followed by the full deck grips of Justin Matteson and Gavin Beschen. You’d hear the bombs of Camp Pendleton going off before navigating a barroom split down the center of surfers and soldiers at Red Fox Lounge as “O.C Life” from D.I. plays from the juke. This would be one version of San Clemente. The one where you blend a disheveled core surf aesthetic with an obvious surf industry influence backdropped by the stucco and tasteless veneer of the Orange County curtain into something with some goddamn vibe.
The other one might not hit so authentically. The realist’s San Clemente. The San Clemente of today. It has been sterilized with Acai bowls and streets lined with short putting green grass so the starry eyed groms in their golf carts and e-bikes can get to Trestles quicker. An attempt at creating surfing’s Pleasantville backfired and this mutiny of home schooled kids in head-to-toe Stance gear run the show. Their dad’s Teslas charge while the water in their Rinse Kits warms.
San Clemente is now a grommet nursery where parents hope future Colapintos and Kolohe’s are groomed into Olympic-ready world champions. People forget that John John and Kolohe and Griffin and Crosby were raised on a steady diet of paragraph one through five surf industry and have a deep appreciation for the core community — a key ingredient to a proper surf curriculum. This is the chapter that today’s groms seem to be glossing over and it’s like skipping the Curren chapter in the surf book.
Despite these modern conveniences and the repercussions that accompany them, this place can still be navigated with dignity. A nice time can be had. There is still soul lurking around. Not all is sterilized by IG surf culture. Catch Surf is not the only surf shop in town. Catalyst (Lost’s home surf shop) still runs the show and will get you dialed with what you need by utilizing a knowledgeable and surf competent staff of no nonsense surf gear.
Our suggestion as you exit the 5 onto Pico: Look to the roots, embrace the present but don’t be afraid to rage against it and always blast the Minor Threat as you hit the offramp. San Clemente still has it if you look closely.—Travis Ferré

We polled some of SC’s finest to make sure this list is complete. It should keep you fed, surfing, buzzed and healthy all at once.
Luke Davis: Ultimate Surfer competitor, had pink hair before it was cool, coffee connoisseur, Reckless Isolation star and form guru.
Tanner Ruzunko: The most core of the core. Good at everything. Surfing, skating, music, beers, carpentry and an all-around stand up dude with great taste.
Ian Crane: World’s greatest free surfer and everyone’s favorite guy to have fun with.
Matt Biolos: World-renowned surfboard maker, snowboarding enthusiast and punk rocker.
Kolohe Andino: World Tour surfer, Olympian, Filmmaker, Core Lord.
Old Man’s at San Onofre State Beach.
FOOD
Sonny’s Pizza & Pasta in San Clemente.
Pedro’s Tacos: Two locations in town. This staple post-Lowers drive-thru never disappoints after a marathon session. Bean/cheese/potato burrito every single time. Easy on the wallet and pretty good on the taste buds. Best to not get a drink and pop over to 7-11 to grab something there. (Don’t know why everyone does this, but they do, literally everyone.)
Guicho’s Eatery: Killer Italian food with two locations in San Clemente. Pretty much a slam dunk any time you want. Only downfall is they are closed on Sundays. Ian Crane special recommendation: Chicken salad + side of 2 meatballs… chicken salad comes with garlic bread, make open face mini meatball sandwich to go with the salad. Or just get the chicken sandwich, comes with baby side salad.
SC Cafe: The local diner. Feels like you’re sitting at home. It’s that level of comfort. They have great breakfast. Hot chocolate coffee w/ whipped cream on top + the veggie mix half order, no rice, add 2 fried eggs and sausage links. Ask for pico de gallo & medina sauce, chop up and mix all together then wrap in flower tortillas.—Crane
PEDRO’S WILL ALWAYS BE A SAN CLEMENTE STAPLE. NOSTALGIC AND DELICIOUS. MY SUGGESTION – ORDER BEFORE PADDLING OUT AND ENJOY IT ON THE BEACH.
— KOLOHE ANDINO
Pedro’s Tacos drive-thru sign at their location on the south end of town.
Surfin’ Chicken: A hidden secret on the north end of town just off Avenida Pico. In the corner of an interesting strip mall. Surfin’ Chicken lives right next door to the record shop. A gem of a taco shop that you can stuff your face while gazing in awe at the surfing posters that have been up since 1995.
“Archy, Dino, the Fletcher’s and Beschen’s line the walls of this time capsule of an establishment. If your picture is not up in Surfin’ Chicken, you are gonna have to go on the next set wave.” —Tanner Ruzunko
Sonny’s Pizza & Pasta: The meeting place in San Clemente. Sonny’s is SC Tradition. Ran by a crazy good surfer Brandon Ragenovich. Brandon’s mom and grandfather own this place and they make incredible pizzas, pastas, salads, and wines. Pretty hostesses.
SURFING
JUST GO TO TRESTLES, THAT’S WHAT YOU’RE HERE FOR [LAUGHS]. IF THE BEACH BREAKS ARE GOOD HERE YOU’RE SURE AS HELL MISSING IT SOMEWHERE ELSE.
— TANNER ROZUNKO
The Pier: Kinda has a different little look to it. Northside pretty much always has something. Winter time sometimes you can surf the other side. I surf Southside like 5 times per year in the winter. —Yadin
T-Street: The most consistent wave on planet earth. In June Cory Lopez and his family were in town and it was flat everywhere in CA. T-St. was the best place from Malibu to the Mexican border and the Lopez fam was all over it. Waves were really really bad in CA, but T-St. was still doin it’s thing. One of the most consistent ridable waves in CA with better wind than HB. Don’t waste a swell day here though. —Biolos
Wedges in the winter. Surf that a bunch and it’s easy. Don’t need an E-bike to get there. —Yadin
Paddle out whenever most convenient, always a funish rideable wave, makes you surf better. Best place to drive by and run out for a wave or just hang out in the parking lot. FUCK BLACKBALL! —Crane
Lower Trestles, San Clemente, CA.
Trails: This can be fun and sometimes an escape from the crowd If you time it right. Trail 6 you can see all the military equipment up close and personal.
Be careful which trail you take as one of them trails lands you on the nude beach.
Uppers: Winter time go-to spot. Summer is good too but the crowd is whacky. Total chaos.
Lowers: Basically good all day! Bring a backpack with water and snacks & 2 boards for fun. Always crowded but it’s kind of an organized chaos. If too crowded and frustrating go in and try again an hour or so later.—Crane
Middles: Any time there is a contest at Lowers you will mind-surf about a hundred waves per day down in this area. Especially fun on a really crowded Lowers day when you can float down and snatch a couple little runners.
Churches: I actually surf Churches a bunch.
San O: 60’s throwback scene on the beach here and a sort of “Waikiki” of California type of surf generally. Great for longboarding and going straight. Best and worst beach in the entire world.—Yadin
SURFING AROUND SAN CLEMENTE IS LIKE A SLOW DRIP. ALMOST LIKE A KIND OF TORTURE. THERE’S USUALLY ALWAYS SOMETHING, BUT NOTHING TOO THRILLING. ENOUGH TO KEEP YOU HYDRATED BUT YOU’RE ALWAYS THIRSTY FOR A LITTLE MORE.
— YADIN NICOL

T STREET SURF SHOP Since 2013
The person running the counter in shop is guaranteed to be stoned. Surf movies playing on TV. They have the glass shop running in the back making fresh boards, it reeks of resign in the best way. Plus it’s across the street from 7/11 so you can get a slurpee and some candy while there.—Crane
Basham’s Factory and Surf Shop: Brad Basham started the entire surfboard building process in San Clemente. The shop lives towards the north side of town in Brad’s name as he passed away recently. This guy was a big reason San Clemente surfing is where it is today.
SAN CLEMENTE HAS MORE SHAPING FACTORIES PER CAPITA THAN ANY OTHER PLACE IN THE WORLD. DON’T COME BOTHER US WHILE WE’RE WORKING THOUGH. YOU’RE NOT GETTING A DEAL.

Booked a surf lesson for me and a friend that I was visiting down in San Clemente. Super friendly service going above and beyond with a an awesome “local” feeling. Had a great time. Will definitely rent my boards there when I come back down.
The store owner Matt, very helpful about the waves and surfing overall. Def would shop here for boards and wetsuits next time I try to catch some waves near San Clemente
Great experience. We took a single session from John and the beginners were worked through the fundamentals to be able to catch waves on their own. We then rented stuff for the next few days to surf on our own and Rick guided us on where and when to go. Absolutely standup guys. Recommend them for any type of surfer. They’ll get you right.
Matt’s shop is right in town and close to surf spots like Doheny State beach & San Onofre State beach. He’s very helpful and has lots of surfboards to choose from. He also offered suggestions on where to surf that’s appropriate for each level surfer. I rented a 9’6” glassed board for 3 days to surf San-O, and swapped it for a 9’0 softtop for two days surfing at Doheny. Came w a leash and some wax. Matt’s reliable and easy to reach by phone. 5 ⭐️
Matt hooked us up with a package deal for everything you need at the beach. He even switched out one of the boards no questions asked when we asked for a different one. Use this place for beach chairs, umbrellas, body and surf boards!
4th Time Renting from Matt. He’s a great guy, runs a great business, and is willing to share some local knowledge about the different surf spots. Highly recommend getting your gear here. I’ll definitely be back next year, and of course will be renting from Matt again. Nathan Krueger New Berlin, WI

I looked for surfboard rentals while passing through San Clemente and found a link to his shop. Had no real expectations but; to get a decent surfboard and at a reasonable price. Matt met and exceeded them. He went out of his way to pick up new boards, ones’ I recommended and got back to me as quickly as he could. Only issue I had was the type of construction of the board. Still had fun that day and highly recommend you check him out when in town. He gives great advise due to his local knowledge and is straight up when I dealt with him.

Matt is a super knowledgeable and super passionate guy. Hooks you up with the right boards at the right price and gives plenty of advice from where to surf to where to grab a meal
Matt was helpful from the moment we called to plan our San Clemente trip. Perfect for domestic or international travelers looking for a Southern California surf adventure. Matt will take care of all the logistics. He’s got you covered, buckle up for an awesome ride!
There I was, 5 or 6 cars away from going through the gate at San Onofre. At exactly 8:30 I called the shop and asked for a board and wetsuit rental. It was my very first time attempting to surf! 10 minutes later they pulled up with a board and wetsuit, just in time. I highly recommend that you use them!!!
Great service and surf insight, San Onofre was on my Longboard bucket list. Matt’s knowledge and friendly nature set me up for a great day
Great experience. Accomodating and very knoweldgable. He sent us to the perfect spot with a good board. Great guy, great service.
Surfboard Rentals at San Clemente Pier with Joel Parkinson
Matt is the man!!! The best place to get surfboards and wetsuits in Orange County. I’ve been coming here for years and I leave stoked every time. He is very helpful for a quick or long trip. Lessons or not. I recommend him to everyone.
First time surfing and got to catch some waves! The instructor, Ricky, was super helpful in teaching me the basics.
Matt was really wonderful and helped us to get the right boards for our party and even helped us load and make sure we are ready for a great two days of surfing.
Great board. Great service. This is a small operation which offers very personalized service. The owner responded promptly to my texts. He kept all promises. Knowledgeable about surfing in the area. Highly recommend
Awesome Experience! My buddy and I rented a board and wetsuit from Matt, and he absolutely hooked us up. He made the rental super easy and went above and beyond by pointing me toward some great local surf shops to buy a new board. Friendly, knowledgeable, and just an all-around great guy. Highly recommend this shop if you’re in San Clemente and need gear or local tips. Thanks, Matt!
Matt is a great dude!! Excellent local advice on the nearest breaks, superb customer service, easy to communicate with when delivering and picking up rentals, and really an easy and fun guy to chat with. Would recommend his services to anyone looking for good advice if you are new to San Clemente breaks and in need of any surf related rental…HEAVY ON ANYTHING SURF RELATED!!!
Matt is such a great guy, gave us tips even set it in our navigation, Lot 1-6 open beaches no person in sight perfect small waves for beginners and advanced, thanks dude. Steff & Russ – Germany
