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 |

El Porto Anyone?
So there I was, paddling for my life, wondering if I was going to make it out of this alive. A huge wave was welling up on the horizon, and here I was, paddling for my life, making my arms push themselves as deep into the water as I could, trying to
