Which is the best surf city to live in california?

Question

I'm thinking...
-San Clemente
-Cardiff-by-the-sea
-Santa Cruz

Any other suggustions?

In regards to good schools, not too built up (like Malibu style) and good waves.

???

Answer 1

There is always Huntington. Good waves and a good party town. If you go north out of town its usuall pretty uncrowded and the school has a team.
