Hey guys i just wanted to know which tide is the best to ride... i've been surfing for a couple of motnhs now n im still a beginner.. help me out ya, which tide is best for bolsa chica beach?

[tree_hugger]

well i dont know about bolsa chica beach but ideally you want to get the tidal push so you want to go in about 1 - 2 hours from lowtide.

It depends on the break. Some places work better high tide, some low. Check it out at both times to see when it works best.
