Additional Surfing Infos
 Good spot in the winter when the swells come in from the NW. Best when a strong 4-6 foot swell comes through. Summer kinda sucks - it doesnt hold the southwest very well. Best with peaky crossed up swell combos.
  Overview
  Atmosphere If you can surf, youll do just fine. There are alot of longboarders in the summer and on small days when the surf isnt challenging. When it gets bigger, the pack gets small when it gets big - plus with cold water and sewage (on occasion) it can clean out the lineup.
  General Overall, El Puko is an ok spot in the winter, kinda lame in the summer. If you catch it on a good day, its as good as any in cali.
Porto is clean, check the beach report card @ healthebay.com, it gets execptional well results

Labor Day
Tucked head into closeout right 1st wave ridden.. not too much easier after the crowed got out.  Fast close outs slowed down a little with incoming tide push.  Glassy, dumpy early on.  Good Vibe, Patience rewarded.

Dawn Patrol Glassy with incomming tide push.. Crowded but able to work around the line up. Got called off my 1st wave but earned respect after droping in on a right corner as the fellow local was paddeling back out.

Oxnard, Huntinginton???
Kook, surfed all those spots too. Big deal I've surfed small Oceanside and small Huntington blown out and crownded. This last winter caught hugh El Porto with minimal crowds because of the size. It was New Years Eve and perfect. Water was crystal clear to boot.

You've got to be kidding?
"When its good its as good as cali gets?"
Ha ha, im gonna hurt my stomach from laughing so hard! You guys are stuck in your little south bay world with some of the worst beach breaks in calif. If you want a real beachbreak, go to places like Oxnard, Ocean Beach, Huntington. El porto is such trash and so are the "locals" that think their spot is so unreal. Ha ha
