Trails surf guide

Surf: General: Just south of the San Onofre Power Plant is Trails, basic beachbreaks that are generally uncrowded and can get good and punchy when there's a combo of SSW and WNW swells running. Tides: Medium-low to medium-high Size: shoulder high to double overhead Wind: E, NE Swell: S, SW, W, NW, combo of swells Bottom: Sand, gravel Paddling: Average most days but can be a lot of work when it is pumping. Spot Rating: Pretty average beachbreak most of the time. Especially when compared to the nearby waves at Trestles. Access: Exit Basilone and head south until you reach the State Park gate, then pick your trail. Crowds: Crowd Factor: Pretty empty. Local Vibe: Non-existent. Environment: Typically ok but gets dicey after a rain. Hazards: Juvenile white sharks, the occasional nudist, although CA State Parks have made it illegal. Season: January-December
