lost surf spots - I began surfing at Ballona Creek in Playa del Rey ( near Venice) in 1963. Fun spot! . Great lests on a south swell.
They built a marina with a big breakwater in the mid 60's that wrecked the break.
Here's a link to a SURFER magazine article , an interview with Stacy Peralta. There is a photo that REALLY looks like the Creek in its heyday.

is their any waves in summer? - next year i might come down to visit an aunt and it will be perfect for a surf trip. but because its completly flat in wales i'm having second thoughts in surfing the summer cause theirs an avarge of 3ft swell. which could get us a knee hight wave over here. is it still surfable of will it be best to go earlier?

re: rankings - Totally agree, as indicated, the rankings are kinda whack...

- Get the rankings in order. Topanga and bay street both have 3 stars? Hello? What is the point if you guys cant distinguish between a crappy walled beach break and a long pealing point like Topanga.

Ballona Creek - Just driving around seeing if I can dig up any pics of Balonna Creek when it was surfable. I learned how to surf by the bridge and eventully made it out to the end of the jetty. Some great memories. There was a cover shot on an old surf magazine of the place

Anyone ever surf Ballona Creek? - Used to be a sweet break back in the '60s and 70's when I surfed there. I hear they've extended the outside jetty for Marina Del Rey and now Ballona is no more. Ever eat at the Shack?

Utopia - California...what a hidden (but unhidden) gem!? I can't understand why surf mag's never really rate the place too highly? Spent a month or two cruisin up and down the Pacific Highway from San Diego upto Malibu (residing at Hungtington for the longest part of the trip) in the winter of 2002/2003. Light winds until 1pm so glassy surfs everyday...and small to medium size punchy beach breaks. Kinda like you'd get Hossegor at 7am..sweet!Never too cold either!! The honeys on the beach playing volleyball rock too, U Californians don't know how fucking sweet u have it...if u ever go to UK, you'll realise what u got and the elements and fat chicks u don't have to battle with!?
