The restrooms are well-maintained and always clean when I'm there...a schedule is on the wall to show the frequency too. During the day, I don't run into alot of people shopping which is a good thing for me...I try to avoid crowds. I feel like the stores offer somewhat of a reduced price and deals like BOGO 50% off but it really depends on the store. As long as I find the good stuff at a good price, I'm a happy shopper. I definitely get my steps in since it's spacious. By the way, they always have fun events to go to; for example, Cars and Coffee, Summer Soundtrack Series, IMAX Movies at Metrolux, Comedy Nights just to name some and not to forget holiday related events. So come on Yelp Community shop at Outlets of San Clemente!!

I bought a swimsuit two days ago at this store. Because they had big sale, so it was busy. I didn't…read moretry it on. But when I got home to try it. It is kind of big. I took it back to exchange it. But the casher told me me it is final sale. He won't let me exchange, even it has all oringal tags on, and the receipt. He is just very mean, kept saying it is the policy... I read their policy, it says I can return or exchange in 30days, which it is common for all the bussiness I think. But this casher just won't me exchange. The swimsuit is not clearance, not the red tag item. I just can't understand why I couldn't exchange to the right size!!! I would never go there again! Just remind all of you, u buy stuff there, u can't return or exchange. How crazy!.

I really love this place, but I've found that it can be very hit or miss since it's an outlet. When…read morethere's a good sale, the deals to be had are AMAZING. I got a 3/2 fullsuit for like 50 bucks. I didn't even need another one at the time, but how you gonna say no to that? I also love buying booties here, if you come at a time when they have your size the deals are phenomenal, I usually pay $60+ for booties full price but they'll have them here for 15 bucks sometimes but they go fast. The staff here is also super helpful, if you're new to wetsuits and need help with wetsuit sizing or anywhere else they're always happy to help. The fitting rooms are large and spacious as well, which if you've ever tried on a wetsuit before you know that you want a lot of space to move around. Besides wetsuits and surf gear they have both men and women's apparel along with accessories such as watches, hats, bags, etc. The store is well maintained and well kept, and parking is easy right behind the store. The only downside is that their stock is always constantly changing, so you never really know if they'll have your size of what you want. I've found great deals on apparel and misc accessories, but other times I'll come by and there's no sales and the prices aren't too different from what you'd find at a regular non outlet store or they won't have my size in anything I want. If you're passing through the area, it's definitely worth it to stop by to see what they have. If they don't, come back another time because they'll probably have new inventory.

There are also changing rooms to try stuff on. Service at the checkout can be excruciatingly slow here for some reason. It's happened many times so be prepared to wait if there's even a small line. There has never been a sense of urgency here but maybe that's the intent. Overall four stars and a good place to find a deal on quality stuff.

Rented two surfboards for the day. The staff made it super easy and made sure we got boards that would work for us. They did not have a wetsuit that fit my girlfriend, but the women working was the same size and let let her use her personal wetsuit for the day. Also, prices for rentals were the cheapest we could find. The staff was awesome and I highly recommend renting from this shop. read more
