Nice at the right time. - Caution: River water is filthy. It's picked up tons of stuff on its way to the ocean. Hepatitis risk is there. Can be pretty windy. You risk getting arrested walking on the path as it's privately owned. Don't scare the horseback riders. Park at Molera & walk if you want, it takes about a half hour. One guy floated down the river so as not to touch the land.

Strange Place - Scored it once at shoulder-high, perfect peeling rights ala Leo Cabrillo. Been back a half dozen times and everytime it is small and ultra crowded, and when it does get good there always seems to be a greedy dickhead or two hoggin all the waves. Thus, this place can be exceedinlgy frustrating, and in summer the campground often fills up and you will be turned away. Pretty freakin lame in that regard. Can get good, but the usual megacrowds and small waves suck big time. What's happened to surfing? It's way too popular now... when places like this get packed regularly, swell or no swell.
