If you are looking for the best beach to learn to surf at in San Diego, look no further! There is no better place to learn than at San Diego’s crown jewel beach, La Jolla Shores. Here are 7 reasons why learning to surf at La Jolla shores is best place our city has to offer. 

1. Perfect Waves for Learning. The #1 factor for learning to surf are the waves. At La Jolla shores, we get perfect 2-4 ft South Swells conditions all summer long, which is great for surfers of all levels. Unlike many surf destinations, La Jolla gets waves all year round and the gentle waves are truly welcoming to first time and novice surfers. Get Stoked!!
   

2. Sand Bottom: What’s under the water really makes a difference when learning to surf. Many surf destinations contain rock reef or coral reef, which makes for a more dangerous setting and more advance waves. La Jolla shores is sand bottom with hidden rocks to be found, which makes for ideal safety and wave conditions. By eliminating the worry of what lies beneath the waves, you can simply focus on catching waves, getting to your feet and surfing down the line!

3. Warm Water: In the summer, La Jolla shores water temp will be between 68-74 degrees. Perfect for a summer cool off! Last year, water temperatures even reached 80 degrees on standout days! The water cools down a bit during the winter months, making it nice and refreshing when catching waves, but it never gets too cold to surf. 
   

4. Beautiful Setting: Tucked between the stunning La Jolla Cove and Scripps Pier, you cannot find a more picturesque setting to learn to surf. Surfing at La Jolla shores will become etched in your memory forever. Not to mention the amazing instagram story and photos you can capture on the beach :)

Additionally, beach wheelchairs are available upon request from the lifeguards for those who need them.
