Lower Trestles

Lower Trestles is a hotspot for local and international surfers alike. The wave at Lower Trestles is famous for providing surfers with a blank canvas to do tricks. The secret to this perfect wave is San Mateo Creek, which dumps thousands of smooth cobblestone rocks right into the line-up. The best time to surf Lower Trestles is in the summer months when swells from the SW groom the shores of San Clemente and create fun peaks up and down the beach. If you happen to be in San Clemente in September, you are in for a real treat. Take the scenic walk down to Lower Trestles and you'll see the most elite surfers battling for the first place trophy at the Hurley Pro. Now go grab a board and get out there!
