Trestles (Lowers) - San Clemente, California
Trestles is a renowned point break featuring both right and left-hand waves, with a sandy bottom interspersed with rocks. The waves are known for being hollow, fast, and powerful, making it a prime location for surfers seeking quality conditions. The best surf occurs during mid-tide with rising and falling tides, and it is ideal for various swell directions including North and South.
This iconic surf spot is easily accessible from San Clemente via the 5 Freeway, with parking available nearby. Expect a significant crowd, especially on weekends, as Trestles attracts surfers of all levels year-round, peaking from March to October. While the atmosphere can be competitive, local etiquette prevails, encouraging a respectful vibe among surfers. Be mindful of localism and potential hazards like urchins. For a successful session, surf the inside first and gradually work your way to the point.
