Surf 56th St.

56th St. - Newport Beach This beach break features powerful, hollow, and fast waves that break both right and left over a sandy bottom. Ideal conditions occur at mid tide with rising and falling tides, and the best swell directions are from the west, southwest, and south. Access is easy, with public access available and a short walk from parking. Newport Upper Jetties is a popular spot for intermediate and expert surfers, known for its vibrant beach atmosphere. While it can get crowded, especially on weekends, early morning sessions are recommended to avoid the masses and onshore winds. The local vibe is friendly, but surfers should respect etiquette to ensure a smooth experience. Expect a steep drop-in during solid swells, and while not every day will be exceptional, there are plenty of fun waves to be had if you time your visit right.
