Description

Birdhits - San Clemente Island Birdhits features a left-point break over a boulder bottom, ideal for experienced surfers. The waves are fast and fun, primarily working on low falling tides with optimal conditions from north to northwest swells. Access is limited, requiring a boat to San Clemente Island, and public access is restricted due to military operations. This surf spot is known for its pristine, uncrowded waves, often left untouched during the week. The area is heavily populated by seals, adding to the unique atmosphere. However, surfers should be cautious of urchins and the proximity to a US Navy training area, which may affect access. The combination of offshore winds and the right swell direction creates perfect peeling left lines, making Birdhits a hidden gem for adventurous surfers seeking a thrilling experience.
