I live near Santa Cruz, and I’d have to say that Pepperdine would be #1, then University of Hawaii, then UCSC, then UCSB, then UCI, then Cal State Long Beach (I also lived and went to school there).

Pepperdine wins since it is right at the beach in Malibu–and Zuma beach is also just a short bus ride away. UCSC has great surfing, but the locals aren’t as friendly as they should be down at “Steamers’ Lane”, the local surfing spot.

Also, if you like the “big waves”, then check out San Francisco State. It’s about a 20 to 30 minute drive from there to “Mavericks” near Half Moon Bay–the location of the largest waves in the known universe.
