Are you dreaming of your next surf trip? Do you have just a few days to play and want to hit the beach as soon and as much as possible? Anyone who knows about surfing the West Coast of North America, has heard of Newport Beach, California. About an hour south of Los Angeles, this surf town is the ideal place to visit during the summer and fall months and its location in Southern California makes it the perfect place to set-up base camp for your surfing vacation. As one of the best California beach towns, Newport Beach will be on the receiving end of storm swells coming out of the Southern Hemisphere that will bring prime waves to this little surf town. Wave sets out of the south-south-west will set this place rocking. The Wedge is well-known among surfers to have one of the more difficult breaks on the West Coast and is challenging for even the most experienced surfers in the world.

Traveling to Newport Beach is easy since the airport is just 10 minutes away. No long car trip is needed to reach the beach. However, this is not a typical sleepy little surf town. You’ll want a local’s knowledge of the landscape, as your wallet can be quickly drained. That’s one of the advantages of participating in the Live-Swell community.
