Located in Southern Orange County, Southern California, Poche Beach is a decent beachy that breaks over a boulder and sand bottom. The waves here are pretty easy to surf and break for up to 50 meters. Usually, a bit mushy, the waves offer opportunities for cruising, but when peaky gets good for manoeuvres.
