About Trestles
Trestles is a group of surf spots around the mouth of San Mateo Creek, between San Clemente and San Onofre in Southern California. It lies within San Onofre State Beach, and most surfers reach it on foot along a trail. The name is said to come from the railway trestle bridge that crosses the creek. The most famous spot is generally considered to be Lowers, where waves break over a bed of smooth, rounded stones and are known to run both left and right from a central peak. Other spots nearby include Uppers, Middles, Cottons and Church. Trestles commonly receives swell from the south in summer and from the north-west in winter, so it often has waves for much of the year, and it has hosted top-level professional contests for decades.
