Additional Information
A very nice peak with lefts favored. Positioned in such a way that the prevailing winds blowing onshore everywhere else, blow offshore here! The peak has the additional distinction of being created by dredge tailings from the shore-side pier next to it. The pier was built to support the planned west coast operations of the space shuttle. When the Challenger disaster happened the west coast shuttle project was scrapped. This surf spot might be considered its legacy. Named after the mansion up on the bluff, which serves as an R&R facility for Air Force personnel.

Atmosphere
Many other surf spots nearby. Most of them are along the semi-protected bit of coast between here and Jalama. Going the other way towards Pt. Arguello & north, the spots get chunkier and fewer and are directly exposed to the prevailing conditions. There's a bombora out past the breakwall when it gets really big.

General
An easy wave that breaks all the time. Smaller souths hit it directly. It really comes alive in the winter when everywhere else is maxed out and stormy and this place is smaller, perfect and offshore.
