Best Surfing In San Diego - April 2024

Surfing in San Diego (Images of America)

San Diego County has nearly 75 miles of picturesque coastline on the mighty Pacific Ocean, and for decades, San Diego has boasted of producing some of the world’s finest surfers. But here surfing is morethan a sport―it is a Southern California lifestyle―and as such has heavily influenced the beach towns throughout the county. Much research points to surfing having come to Southern California in 1907,and it may have taken hold in San Diego as early as 1910. Join with us in this wonderful pictorial journey through San Diego’s little-known surfing past.

The Lifeguards: A Reminiscence of West Coast Beaches in the 1950s

Early surfers became accomplished rough water swimmers because, with leashes an invention for the future, they spent a lot of time swimming after their boards. They quickly learned the advantages of using swift rip currents to get out to the break and, when knocked off their boards, of swimming with the breaking surf to quickly get to shore (and retrieve their boards). Most of the early Ocean Beach/Sunset Cliffs surfers went on to become excellent ocean lifeguards because of their developed swimming strength and first hand knowledge of waves and rip currents, gained through their surfing adven...
