7th Street in Seal Beach is a popular surf spot known for its beach breaks that cater mainly to intermediate surfers. It requires South to Southwest swells to really come alive, making it a go-to during the summer months. The access point is conveniently located at the foot of 7th Street, making it easy for surfers to get in and out of the water.

The waves here can get pretty hollow, offering some decent lefts and rights for those looking to score a good ride. It typically handles swell sizes as small as 1 ft (0.3 meters), but is best with a bit more power. The break works over sand, which can be great for a softer landing if you wipe out. For the best conditions, aim for mid to high tide and keep an eye on the wind; a NorthEast wind can help clean things up a bit. Just be aware that this spot can get crowded when the conditions are firing, especially on the weekends.

While it’s mostly a summer spot, you'll want to be cautious of bad currents during larger swells, which can make things tricky out there. So, if you're heading to 7th Street, be prepared for a bit of a challenge, especially when it’s working at its best.
