T Street is a well-known surf spot in San Clemente, Orange County, California, tucked just south of the pier and near the heart of town. It’s a classic Southern California beach break with a long surfing history and a strong local following.

What it’s like

Wave type: Mostly a sand-bottom beach break with shifting peaks.
Best in: It tends to work best on south and southwest swells, especially when conditions are clean.
Wind: Light offshore or calm mornings are usually ideal; onshore winds can make it messy.
Crowd: Often crowded, especially when the waves are good, since it’s a popular and accessible spot.

Wave character

Can offer fun, consistent waves with a mix of:
Crumbly peaks for longboarders and beginners on smaller days
Faster, hollow sections on better swells for more experienced surfers
The sandbars can change after storms, so the break shape can vary quite a bit.

Best for

Beginners to advanced surfers, depending on conditions
Longboarders on small, soft days
Shortboarders when the swell lines up and the sandbars are working
