There’s no need to catch an actual wave to feel like you’re out in the California surf this month, thanks to the return of a festival that celebrates beach music.

The 15th annual Surf Guitar 101 Festival comes to Long Beach with a lineup that’s a who’s who of the instrumental genre.

“We have everything from traditional to progressive to psychedelic to the heavy and spooky stuff. We have all corners of the instro surf scene covered in this lineup,” said Jeff Hanson, founder of the fest.

The event will take place through Sunday at the Golden Sails Hotel, where dozens of bands will perform. The lineup includes headliners The Surfaris, who formed in Glendora in 1962 and are responsible for “Wipe Out,” one of the most recognizable surf tunes.

“This is the song everybody knows,” Hanson said.

Surf music fans who also love horror will have a lot of reasons to dance this weekend because another headlining act is the Van Nuys surf-garage band The Ghastly Ones, who incorporate a monster theme into their sound.

“They haven’t played in about 14 years. Their sound is like the Haunted Mansion theme if you were to play it as instrumental surf music,” Hanson said.

Festivalgoers will also see some reunions of bands, including The Untamed Youth featuring Deke Dickerson, who formed it in 1986.

Other performers include the Insect Surfers, who are celebrating 45 years together.

“They were the first surf band that I saw, and they’re my favorite surf band. And they’re one of those bands that mix in all types of different elements of the surf umbrella into one band,” Hanson said.

The festival will include a marketplace where people can buy CDs, records, instruments and other surf music-related stuff.
