In Orange county only New****t Beach will have enough open space to
practice. 
Huntington Harbor and Dana Point Harbor are man made marinas the are
mostly 
dock space with tight channels connecting.  The best choice is the 'inner 
harbor' at Long Beach/San Pedro.  It's wide open and is protected by a 
breakwater 1-2 miles offshore.  It gets choppy in windy conditions but
won't 
develope any kind of 'swell' unless it's really ripping.
