Huntington Canvas Wall Prints
Check out the Huntington Pier area for a deep hit of Southern California surf culture. One of the world’s most famous surf spots, site of many contests and a lot of history over the years, Huntington Beach is predictably jammed, especially during the summer. The north side can handle big winter swells, sending often excellent rights peeling towards the pier. The south side works best on SW swells, showcasing frequently good lefts that wall right through the barnacle-encrusted pilings (this is the spot that made “shooting the pier” famous). Both sides can work at any tide, though medium is usually best. Check further north for peaks where the service ramp hits the beach, also around the terminus of Golden West Street. Very reliable and consistent on both sides of the pier. Blows out easily about the time surfing is “blackballed” in favor of swimmers and spongers during summer mid days. Access is via pay-parking lots at First Street, Huntington Street and Beach Boulevard. Metered parking on highway. Beach nourishment continues from Seal Beach to Huntington in an attempt to remedy reduced littoral sand movement due to the extensive armoring structures from the Long Beach area south.
A swell, in the context of an ocean, sea or lake, is a series of mechanical waves that propagate along the interface between water and air and so they are often referred to as surface gravity waves. These series of surface gravity waves are not generated by the immediate local wind, instead by distant weather systems, where wind blows for a duration of time over a fetch of water.
