T-Street Surf Beach in San Clemente

T-Street Surf Guide

Located just south of the San Clemente pier, T-Street is a very popular spot for young rippers. It can be busy year-round, and off the charts during summer months. You may catch some decent peelers if you’re on a longboard but it’s chancy. T-Street consistently catches swell so it’s almost always breaking, south to west-northwest. It’s pretty fast, though, so you’ll want to use agile, shorter gear. Aim for low to mid tide.
