Swells generated predominantly from the North Pacific in winter and from a combination of Southern Hemisphere storms and hurricanes in the summer focus on Huntington Beach creating consistent surf all year long thus giving Huntington Beach the title of Surf City, USA.” Some other places to check out while you are here are the International Surfing Museum and the Huntington Beach Pier.
