Apart from sponsored surf events, Huntington Beach has some of the best surf breaks in the State of California and that of the United States. Huntington Beach has four different facing beaches: Northwest, West, Southwest, and South. Northwest consists of Bolsa Chica State Beach with a length of 3.3 miles (5.3 km), the West consist of "The Cliffs" or "Dog Beach", Southwest is considered everything north of the pier which is operated by the City of Huntington Beach. South consists in everything south of the pier which primarily focuses on Huntington State Beach (2.2 Miles), which almost faces true South.
Just north and south of the Huntington Beach Pier are some well defined sandbars that shift throughout the year with the different swells. Southside of the Pier is often a popular destination during the summer for good surf, but the Northside can be just as well during the winter. Around the Pier it all depends on the swell and the sandbars. Shortboard is your best option for surfing around the Pier.
South Huntington Beach, also known as Huntington State Beach, is where all the south swells impact the coastline. Huntington State Beach is operated by the State of California, Department of Parks & Recreation, and Huntington State Beach Lifeguards. This beach is very wide with plenty of sand. Sandbars dramatically shift during the spring, summer and fall seasons, thus creating excellent surf conditions with a combination South/West/Northwest swell. Due to the Santa Ana River jetties located at the southernmost end of the beach, large sandbars extend across and upcoast, forcing swells to break extremely fast and hollow. Best seasons for surfing at this beach is the summer and fall. The best option for surfing in this area is a shortboard.

This probably isn't the clearest shot of me (It wasn't taken on a digital camera), but this is me on the beach in Pattaya, Thailand. That wasn't my favorite beach - or favorite town (long story), but oh well, it was the summer and I was on vacation.
The beach where we stayed for five days vation at Hyatt resort of Kauai. The moon just popped of from the cloud at full moon when this picture was taken.
Camera: Nikon D7000 + 35mm AF-S f1.8
Very colourful line up of Beach Huts along the seafront at Whitby. It was a great shame there was no sun to really bring out the colours in these. Rather than just a straight record/side on shot I decided to go for the perspective look...Hope you like.?
Photograph by Harry Atwell taken at Wilson Beach, Chicago 1922. Might be one of the Barnum and Bailey Circus girls, which would explain what is quite daring attire for 1922, when women were expected to wear stockings (rolled) with their swimsuits. Renowned as the greatest visual chronicler of the circus in the American 20th century, H.A. Atwell began his career as a diversified entertainment event photographer using magnesium flash light illumination in Chicago where he headquartered from 1900 to 1952. His fascination with the circus images began early; in later years he claimed to have shot his first image in 1907.
