Hey all. I've only been able to get out detecting once so far this year, but we did just take a vacation to southern California and got in some time on the beach. We did pretty well looking for sea glass. Here are some pictures of most of what I found.
I've never detected the beach, but from reading others' posts, I think ideal conditions to find sea glass are similar. The first day at one beach there were pockets of small stones that would get tumbled with each wave and you could literally just pick the glass out of there. The next day, in the exact same spot, nothing but sand. Occasionally you would step on a soft spot and could wiggle your feet down about 4" and get to the rocky stuff. We would wait for a wave to come in and then try to kick the rocks up out of the hole and look for glass. Much more difficult than the first day.
