About Blacks Beach
Blacks Beach lies below tall sandstone cliffs in San Diego, California, between the Torrey Pines reserve and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at La Jolla. A deep underwater canyon runs in towards the shore here, and it is widely credited with steering swell onto the beach and making the waves larger and more powerful than at neighbouring beaches. The wave breaks over sand and is often described as fast and heavy for a beach. There is no public road down for cars, so people walk in, either down a road or by a steep path from the clifftop, where gliders fly from a long-standing airfield. The best surf usually arrives in the northern winter, typically from around November to March. The currents and the size of the waves lead many to describe it as a spot for strong, experienced surfers.
