Additional Surfing Infos |
| | You are going to find a lot of longboarders here. Super friendly crowd. HOWEVER, this is a shortboard/longboard wave. On a shortboard, its a fun hotdogger wave, however, on the right swell will become hollow. Can get powerful when it is 6ft+. Mellow vibe and fun wave.

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
This spot will stay good a lot longer than the surrounding beaches. Kelp beds offshore groom the waves and high cliffs keep it wind protected. Multiple personality wave - can be mushy and soft, but transforms into a very rippable wave. Little hard for shortboarders to get waves as it is not that steep. |
| |
General |
Fun Wave, Lots of waves by it so if you dont like it you have about 4 differnt breaks in 5-10 minuet walking range. Such as Pink House + Lifeguards (better shortboarders wave), South Pipes, San Elijo (better longboarders wave) HAVE FUN! |
