SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA — The south swells that characterise Southern California’s summer surfing season are beginning to arrive — typically smaller, warmer, and more crowd-intensive than winter’s northwest swells, but consistent enough to produce rideable surf at breaks that face south. The crowd forecast for this summer’s surf season in Southern California is, consistent with recent years, driven by the combination of population growth in the coastal counties, increased surf participation post-pandemic, and the specific distribution of working patterns that has extended the weekday crowd at popular breaks beyond previous patterns.

The Crowd Strategy

Dawn patrol — arriving at the beach before sunrise — remains the most effective crowd management strategy for accessing quality surf at popular breaks. The specific mathematics of the SoCal lineup are well understood by regulars and consistently underestimated by visitors. SURFER covers the surf forecast. Bohiney covers the crowd forecast comedy.
