Lower Trestles is one of the best waves in the world — a cobblestone point break that produces both rights and lefts off a perfectly defined peak. Selected as the 2028 LA Olympics surfing venue and longtime WSL Championship Tour stop. The wave is rippable and consistent but the crowd and competition-level lineup make it effectively advanced. The 15-minute walk from the parking lot is the only thing keeping numbers in check.
