Statewide research draft / Orange County. Approximate directory-area search seed: 33.72, -118.07. NOT a verified takeoff. Distinct from Sunset State Beach in Santa Cruz and Sunset Point in Los Angeles. Statewide recovery: source-area coordinates are not owner-confirmed takeoffs. Sources may round or obscure positions. Named sections may share a reference coordinate; their distinct takeoffs are not implied. No route, access permission or current ocean condition is established. Source note: Research batch: california-coast-expansion-20260927. Public reference checked 27 September 2026. Approximate directory-area search seed: 33.72, -118.07. NOT a verified takeoff. https://www.surf-forecast.com/breaks/Sunset-Beach-Usa-North-OC/forecasts/latest/six_day The reference was retained from the interrupted 27 September research pass; not every individual page was rechecked on 28 September. The source location is approximate, not a surveyed takeoff.

Before paddling out: Access, water quality, local hazards and current restrictions need independent checks. Directory inclusion is not permission or a safety assessment.

Access not independently verified Approximate directory-area reference. May be displaced or obscured in its source; NOT a takeoff, route, access point or survey.
