this wave actually varies between sloppy and fun. can occasionally get really good, but its truly a mystery how to predict when that happens. it is one of the closest spots to SF for south swells, since OB doesn't pick those up too well. also has a little more wind protection then OB.

Delusional Just learn the rules and surf somewhere else
I dont understand people's mentality here, funny, because i was born here and have never seemed to fit into the mind set in this area. Ive surfed around the world but mostly in the mecca(hawaii) with my family that lives there. Surfing Cronkite since i was a kid ive seen waves of different attitudes polluting a fun spot. Lately its been the "its everyones ocean/you dont own these waves" attitude, I can assure you that it is everyones ocean, except yours, so mahalo for being here, now fuck off. Let me ask this, would you tell a local at Pipeline its your ocean too? didnt think so, if you werent laughed out of the water youd have your face blasted by a big Hawaiin fist. A friend showed me this site to bring to my attention that my name was mentioned in a recent comment (Im the "angry" one). I dont appreciate this because it was a judgement on my character by someone who does not know me, nor do I know them. What I do know is that people on this site posting comments because they are not welcome at a surf spot/got their feelings hurt takes barney to a whole new dimension. Point being, everyone!!! needs to take a step back and learn from mistakes.

Cron is a pretty neat spot-- Spunger Sammy is my hero-- and spunger Art is my father. Oh and that Mexican Morgan is my friend.. Also Nate m's girlfriend Kelsy is hot- to young for him but cute forsure. I hope this comment comes out anonymous- or im in trouble
List:
Icecream Lappard—is angry, front foot Jeff- cool guy, Kyle C—probably should get a job—Shapiro is my floating hero, Jake C- pretty dang nasty but has a chip on his shoulder, Gulick brothers—loud and only one of them can surf, Duffy—don’t want to fight him or his bald head, Hawaii Mike- full of awesome stories about pipe,
Yeah Cron guys are pretty darn neat—but still—im a larkspur landing local—don’t catch my ferry wave

No need to clump like cheerios in a cereal bowl
I wish to remain nameless but I am certainly one of the best surfers out there on a regular basis. I really don't care about newcomers or visitors. What really drives me nuts though, is when people flock to the one zone that I'm surfing with maybe a few of my local buddies. Just because we may make it look good does not mean it will be good for you too. If you are not a local or very experienced stay away from the point zone and surf down the beach. If you practice and come there enough you may earn a place but simply paddling out and jockeying/annoying way more experienced surfers will not earn you points. One more thing: DO NOT paddle on the shoulder of a wave somebody is already on (making sure they don't fall), even if you pull back you are pushing down sections that would not be there and thus prematurely making the wave closeout.....That rant was much needed
