Description

Seal Beach Pier Northside - Seal Beach, California Seal Beach Pier Northside features a beach break with both right and left waves over a sandy bottom. The spot works best during low and incoming tides, particularly in the morning when conditions are typically glassy. It has two main peaks: a fast hollow left-hander known as Harvey Wallbanger and a short right breaking into the sea wall. This popular surf location, situated at the foot of 7th Street, is ideal for intermediate surfers, especially during summer months when South to Southwest swells are prevalent. While the atmosphere is generally friendly, be mindful of the local vibe and take turns when catching waves. The area can become ultra-crowded on weekends, and caution is advised due to strong currents during larger swells. Access is convenient, with plenty of beach parking available, making it easy to enjoy a day of surfing at this vibrant spot.
