The official website of Huntington Beach shows a completely different flag as
the city flag - blue with a large white and gold emblem. See the photo at
www.ci.huntington-beach.ca.us/Residents/News_Publications/Community_Connection/mar05/flag.jpg
- the photo and accompanying text can be seen in context towards the bottom of
the page at
www.ci.huntington-beach.ca.us/Residents/News_Publications/Community_Connection/mar05/
where it specifically says "Three flagpoles now stand next to the pier,
featuring the American flag, the POW/MIA flag, the California State flag, and
the City of Huntington Beach flag." I found the photo on a web gallery
which says it was taken in Huntington Beach, but it doesn't say it is the city
flag- see
homepage.mac.com/rcgearhart/PhotoGallery/PhotoAlbum5.html. Right-clicking to
check properties reveals the file name as "Surf-City-Flag". Since Surf City is a
nickname for Huntington Beach maybe this is an unofficial tourism flag.

This 6 Dec 2016 article from the LA Times shows that the logo flag has been
adopted as the official city flag. The version shown does not have the city's
name below the logo.

The website at www.ci.huntington-beach.ca.us showed a fitting logo for 'Surf City USA'. It consists of a large white inner circle with a very narrow white outer circle around it. Radiating from the logo are several faint white circles which appear on a background of blue, old gold, and gray. The innermost of these radiant circles is faintly filled in with a dark gray color. The central image is bisected by a vertical golden surfboard, which does not reach to either the top or the bottom of the circle. This surfboard itself is bisected by a red vertical
stripe. Superimposed on the surfboard are the words 'Surf City' in upper and lower case dark blue lettering, while on either side of the board are the letters 'H' and 'B' respectively.

Several images at http://michiganexposures.blogspot.ca/2012/09/an-evening-at-huntington-beach.html show this flag, one with a collection of national, state, and municipal flags, suggesting it is being used as the city flag.
A light blue flag with images of breaking waves on the hoist and fly, and in the center the city seal.
This flag appears to have been in use since 2012.
