Description

Cylinders - Newport Beach, California Cylinders is a powerful right-hand beach break characterized by hollow, fast, and ledgey waves over a sandy bottom. It works best at low and mid tide, with optimal conditions coming from south swell directions and east to northeast winds. Access is instant, taking less than 5 minutes on foot, and the spot is publicly accessible. Located adjacent to the famous Wedge, Cylinders offers a thrilling experience for surfers seeking big barrels. While it can be less crowded during the week, expect a few surfers on weekends. The wave's intensity attracts experienced riders, making it essential to check conditions before paddling out. Be cautious of rips and undertow, and remember that parking can be challenging when the surf is pumping. Overall, Cylinders is a must-visit for those looking to tackle powerful waves in a vibrant surf scene.
