I surfed there last weekend and it's a classic break with a classic surf vibe. It's one of the few CA beaches where you can pretty much drive up to the beach and surf. The San Onofre Surf Club meets there and we have a Luau in the Summer complete with local grind, drink (BYOB), music and hula. There is even a contingent of the San Onofre Surf Club in Hawaii made up of past mainland members. It's a place right out of a Gidget movie. No surf Nazis, few short boarders and miles from any residential or retail structures (except for the surf shack). Think about the place is starting to make me feel like I'm coming down with a cold and need to leave work for the day...

I was there in May 2000 with a fellow Chicago surfer hanging with members of the San O Club and some people from alt.surf... I don't remember seeing tikis??? Where were they? I was super stoked to be at a place I read so much about... so much history and culture there... and some real fun mellow waves. Rode the outer break in some heavy fog but had a blast that weekend... Bong, do you know of Neon, Big Kook, San Diego Beach Guy... some interesting characters I met at San O that weekend...

Gotta be at the gate at dawn. Heaps 'o surf history. Mushy friendly waves with the nuclear power plant as a backdrop.
