California Foil Spots for beginners

I am heading to California on September 27th. Looking for suggestions within 1-2 hours of Huntington Beach if anyone knows of any great beginner foiling spots. Thanks!

Several miles North (or South I guess) of the pier are open beach breaks where you can foil. That’s pretty much all there is in that area. Otherwise there is San Onofre. Foils have to stay South of the surfers. Get in touch with the foil shop in seal beach. @foilwithme on instagram is in HB I think.

San Onofre - to the south of Dog Patch = ideal foiling location.

I think huntington beach is great for foiling. Powerful enough wave to chip in regardless of tide…then you just pump out and about and around. Anywhere in HB is great. Just watch out for angry surfers.
