Additional Surfing Infos |
| | Every break at trestles has a way of taking any swells and making them into decent, ride-able waves...Church won't dissapoint, just a solid, small-medium right-hander. (most of the crowds at Lowers won't walk this far down to surf Church's) not TOO crowded, but sometimes it is.
|
| |
Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
Good mellow right-hand break, best when breaking 4 to 8 feet but can handle a little bigger... the lineup sits in front of the train trestle, 70 yards out or so... and a good ride can end a couple hundred feet to the right in the "cove" |
| |
General |
perfect wave, looks like j-bay when it is going off |
