three min spot one right off the road called road sides, can connect all the way thru the bay sometimes with up too one mintue ride and 5 second barrel. the second one is oin the middle of the bay this one packs a punch onto a shallow sandbar but can get ledgy/wedgy barrels and the thrid is called tracks with set that bomb on the outside that mush thru the middle then reform on the in-side into a wall ride into the shore line
Overview
Atmosphere
People say it is localized but this is not true at all good vibes here wanna be locals at best here secret channel right by roadsides that take you right out with dry hair inta channel line up with the two submerged rocks on you right when padding out to get out easier
General
good sunets, good beach, and pretty mellow people this plce is usually bigger than anyother place in monterey
Current
Everyone says the sideshore current here is bad, they are all right. I paddled and paddled away from the rocks and basically stayed in one spot, the cold water doesnt help either. it was head high + when i was there and I can only imagine what its like when it is bigger. My little cousin got stuck out and I had to go rescue him, not a spot for the por paddler or poor swimmer, so be careful out there!

juicers only
This beach break serves some up, thick pits, always bigger than looks, water is probly below 50. Grumpy old dudes and ego maniac mediocore surfers "rule" this spot. Still a fun choice if in monterey. Just don;t paddle out on a longboard, i saw a bitter old man kick someone out of the water for it.

Attention !!
Asilomar Beach is not a place for beggining surfers.There are rip tides sudden sneaker sets and the surf can rise rapidly without warning.Very dangerous surf spot.Novice surfers should go to del monte beach or santa cruz.Also the water quality is bad here giardia hepititus sinus and staph infections have been on the rise.
