Features
LOCATION AND SURF CONDITIONS
Within 15 to 45 Minutes we find great Surfspots around the Camp. From beginners to advanced Surfers...here we give a a quick views and be sure, there are some secret Spots you will be amazed of.
San Diego
San Diego is actually a very broad area with over 60 miles of coastline and is well exposed to swell from each and every direction. We know the way to find you waves specific to the days conditions and your ability while discovering SD. San Diego truly has everything on offer. Reef breaks, point breaks, and sand bottom beach breaks inhabit the area.
Oceanside
Sitting at the northern most point of San Diego is Oceanside. This is a beach famous for its pier, its military base, its boardwalk and its world class beach break lining the city from tip to tip. Here it all comes down to finding a nice empty sand-bar and enjoy the waves with just you and friends which we make readily available to you with the help of our guides.
Trestles and Orange County
Now what shall we say about Trestles?…. World renowned one of the single most high performance waves on the planet and, not to mention, 10 minutes from the camp. Loved by every professional in the sport of surfing it is a spot worthy of a place on the ASP World Championship tour. If you’re up for the challenge we would love to assist should you demonstrate the ability to surf such the more prominent ‘peaks’. For the more intermediate surfer DON’T LET THE PRO’S SCARE YOU AWAY!!! Trestles is not just “A Spot” but an area with many nooks, crannies and empty areas. At the end of the day world famous perfection is at your finger tips. There are also a wide variety of “secret spots” that are a little harder to get to but offer miles of coast with peaks offering some of the longest rides of your life.
Huntington / Newport Beach
Huntington Beach or “Surf City USA” which hosts the US Open of surfing each year is the host for 1 reason. Great waves and an unbeatable surf presence in and out of the water. Along with its neighbor, Newport Beach, both provide miles and miles of sand bottom beach break and peaks every step of the way. To surf alone in California is not necessarily that hard when you know where to go. It’s one of our many specialties
LA County
When you think of beaches in LA you may think Venice, Santa Monica or maybe even ‘Baywatch’. To a certain extent you are thinking correctly. However, on the right days the Los Angeles area offers world class surf across a vast area. Perfect points and reefs combined with a wide variety of open beach break, LA provides it all. Imagine surfing Malibu. The birthplace of modern progressive surfing. And before you know it you’re headed off to Hollywood for lunch on “The Sunset Strip.” Or how about a stroll along the walk of fame? The true California experience.
CAMP CHARACTER
Surfing is different. Surfing is a lifestyle. Surfing is addictive. And it is certainly a lot of fun. Of course, surfing is done in the ocean, and everything you do out there is dangerous. There are Risks, so that's why we at TheCaliCamp send you only with trained and experienced surfers.
Surfing has a long History. European encounter it the first time 1767 when they arrived at the coast of Tahiti. The fascination of Surfing is incredible. I'm writing this as a Swiss Guy who grow up in a Country with no ocean. Only Mountains. So I did a lot of Ski, Snow- and Skateboarding (I even got a ticket for it). But when I caught my first wave, it changed everything.
It's right, you only ride a wave for an average of six seconds. You may even go out on the Ocean and you wait an hour for a good wave. But then there is one coming. You start to paddle, the wave takes you, you jump on the board - and then you feel it - a moment of magic. That's all you're looking for and for that moment in time, its all that matters.
At TheCaliCamp we want you to have that magic moment. So we train our Surfguides to bring you to the best spots, to give you a safe and awesome experience. No matter if you are a beginner or a experienced surfer. You can be sure, everyone at the Camp knows that very special feeling, when you get up on your Surfboard and feel that magic moment. See you when you get here.

What Is Surf Guiding?
Surfguides are not teachers. You're not joining a class where you have to do, what your teachers say. Our guides will bring you to great Surfspots within our reach. They provide an "on the spot" introduction to the break and will lead a brief warmup. The guides are there to offer advice, answer questions, and essentially make sure you, as the guest, are catching waves and having the best time possible while maintaing safety in and out of the water.
What does a typical Day look like.
- The Guide picks you up between 06:30 and 10:00 and you drive to the Surf spot: 1 to 2 hours of surfing
- The Guide brings you back to the Camp, so by noon you are ready for lunch (unless otherwise you are on one of our scheduled "day trips"
- Between 14:00 and 15:00 the Guide picks you up for a second Surf Session.
- Your back around 17:00 for some relaxation, yoga, dinner, socializing, sleep and do it all over again.
Sunset Surf
Once a week we have a special Sunset Surf. Our Camp Boss Dave Cinquini brings you personally to his secret Sunset Spot. After a unforgettable Surf session at a nearby beach, we'll follow it up with a beach bonfire and bbq courtesy of TheCaliCamp.

City Tours

Your guide can even help you to pick the best day..maybe a small wave day to get out and see places you've only witnessed on television.
