We want to take photos at a surfing event tomorrow... What would be the best time to surf, according to this surf map, for Huntington Beach tomorrow?

This is my 2nd time surfing, so I am pretty lost. I looked up YouTube videos on learning to surf, but that’s the only info I have. Can someone look at my form and tell me what might be wrong?
Am I not paddling soon enough, or too far back or forward on the board? Not getting up soon enough? Any suggestions appreciated. I have a board rented for this week, so trying to get as good as I can in that time.
I should have made much more of this wave. Instead I got up slow (kind of under the lip which put me off). Had to adjust my front front and then wait for the wave to pick me back up. I was really hopeful I'd done a backhand bottom turn - more of a midface wiggle when I watched this back 😂
What should I focus on to improve as a priority?
Appreciate all the advice on my last post! I plan to try different tips people had at each of my practices this week. I think the biggest issue I can see is I shouldn’t be staying on my knees at all. 🫣
So went out again today and had better waves. I worked on trying to get on the board farther forward for this session. I’m still so slow on the getup, so I plan to try on solid ground with my getup as people had suggested.
I'm a super beginner. Just went on my first solo sesh. I've caught a couple waves, even caught two today but man, I got swept like maybe 8 times. Just about every time I failed, it looked and felt like the nose of my board dove down and hit the bottom of the wave and I'd get flipped. I know part of this is positioning and timing but, it'd be nice to get some pointers, opinions, or even videos what to do stop doing that.
My girlfriend and I from Europe are planning ~2 weeks in early/mid November and can't decide between:
(But we were mostly there when the surf conditions were bad)
About us:
I'm a lower-intermediate. My girlfriend surfs much less, so the destination should also be great for non-surfing activities. We want warm weather/water, good food, nature/culture and a relaxed atmosphere, not a party trip. Around 2 weeks.
Which destination would you choose for this trip, and why? Or other recommendations? Especially interested in people's actual experience in early November, rather than just climate charts.
