Del Mar Surf School is a surf school and surf shop at 151 10th St, Del Mar, CA 92014, earning a perfect 5.0-star Google rating and a reputation as one of the most personalized surf instruction operations on the San Diego coast. All lessons run 90 minutes and include a surfboard, wetsuit, and complimentary photos, eliminating any need for students to bring their own gear. Private one-on-one lessons give beginners the focused attention needed to progress from beach instruction through whitewater practice to catching real waves, while intermediate students paddle out alongside their instructor to work on turning, trimming, and wave selection. Instructors have more than 10 years of surfing experience each and tailor every session to the student's ability level. Board and wetsuit rentals are also available for those ready to practice on their own, with boogie boards starting at $15 per day and fiberglass surfboards at $40 per day. Wetsuits rent for $20 per day or $10 when bundled with any board rental. The school operates from Del Mar's main beach break, where consistent waves and a sandy bottom create forgiving conditions for learning. Summer surf camps for kids age six and up round out the schedule with weekly sessions covering ocean safety, marine biology basics, and skill progression. Visitors staying at Villa L'Auberge, the luxury residences adjacent to L'Auberge Del Mar, can walk to the 10th Street beach in minutes. Gift certificates are available for anyone looking to give the experience of riding a wave for the first time. After a morning in the water, Harry's Coffee Shop - Del Mar on nearby Camino del Mar is a longtime local favorite for hearty breakfast plates and strong coffee.
