Surf Magazine and Yardbarker put out a joint feature on June 28, 2026. They named seven coastal towns as top summer getaways. Those spots have warm water, steady swell and a local vibe. The list is meant to help travelers pick one beach.
On the same day NBC 7 San Diego released an investigator alert. Police say thieves and fraudsters are going following surfers’ cars and gear. In Anchorage, the Daily News said a man from the city died while surfing the Turnagain Arm bore tide. The loss shows how hard it is to rescue swimmers in fast‑moving tidal currents.
