Dolphin Avenue is a surf spot located at the foot of Dolphin Street in Seal Beach. It's known for being a beach break that can cater to intermediate surfers looking for a fun session. The vibe here is laid-back, making it a decent place to catch some waves with friends or meet other surfers.

The surf at Dolphin Avenue is pretty similar to what you’d find at 13th Street, with long rides that require larger swells from the west and northwest to really get going. It's best with a south-west swell direction, but it can also handle swells from the south and northwest. The waves typically break over sand, creating a nice ride that can go left or right. You can find workable waves even at around 2 feet (0.6 meters), but it’s really ideal when the tide is low and the wind is coming from the northeast. Keep in mind, this spot is more suited for intermediate surfers, as beginners might find the conditions a bit challenging.

If you're planning a visit, make sure to check the swell forecast to catch it at the right time. Being a beach break, the conditions can change quickly, so stay aware of what's happening in the water. It’s a solid spot to add to your surf list, especially if you’re looking for something a little different than the usual crowded spots.
