Windansea is one of California's most iconic and historically significant surf spots — a shallow rock reef break in La Jolla producing a long peeling right and a short barreling left. The famous palm-frond surf shack on the beach is a California Historical Landmark. The Windansea Surf Club has a storied reputation for territorial localism dating back decades. Beginners should stay away — the powerful shorebreak hurls riders into shallow rock.
