Poche Beach, in San Clemente, California, is a popular beach break spot for local surfers and kiters due to its consistent waves and easy access. Located near the highway, it offers a typical Southern California coastal setting with parking and amenities nearby.
It is a beginner-intermediate spot where left and right peaks form on a mix of sand and rocks, particularly fun when the southwest swells arrive. Recent beach erosion has slightly altered the sandbars, but it remains a solid choice for casual sessions.
Close to famous spots like Trestles, Poche Beach attracts a variable crowd depending on the seasons, with a sometimes marked local spirit during peak season.
