Go to the Torrey Pines Glider Port. Park there and go down the trail until you hit the beach.

Paddling out at Blacks is not a big deal. Wait till a lull and paddle out. Once outside watch for the big sneaker sets. These will kill you and they are extremely hard to spot. Because of this it is not a good idea to sit inside. Blacks is all about late drops. Unless you are on a bigger board you will not be able to catch waves unless you drop late. The waves are very hollow and powerful due to the offshore La Jolla underwater canyons which make the shore go from very deep to very shallow. This accounts for the extreme hollowness and bigger size.

There is a localism. I've seen a couple fights where locals got dropped in on and then the fists and dunking began. Definitely do not drop in on the older guys that clearly know everybody. Some of San Diego's best surfers surf here so it may be tough to get some waves at the main peaks. Unless you are a grom and aren't catching any waves. Then they will be nice and let you have some waves. ;)

This is a great fast hollow powerful break. Respect its power and know your limits.
This wave is getting very crowded so do not even bother with it, try Scripps instead.

just wanna surf... - what's the vibe like towards ucsd students? I always keep to myself (crowds make me nervous and uncomfortable) while surfing and avoid conflict as best as possible, I hope this will be enough to get me by at blacks. I just want to get a few waves without anyone bugging me
