I've lived in Newport and the Newport area for a long time.
Huntington/Newport/Laguna can have nice waves, but they tend to build fast and close out fast. For expert surfers who can give it a couple strong paddles and then get up on their board, all within around 2 seconds, it isn't a problem. But typically those areas are tough for beginners.
My son went surfing for the first time this past week with some friends down south a little further. San Clemente/San Onofre area. Those waves are typically a little smaller and slower, more "beginner friendly."
