Additional Surfing Infos
 Parking free. No facilities.
  Overview
  Atmosphere Power level? Higher than average.. tore a leash halfway thru one of my boards in 3-4' beachbreak.. wasn't even out in the channels.

Rips are a local legend, very strong. Rangers will give you info paper when you go to get in the water.
You didn't know? The early Mavericks crew worked their big-wave chops up here. The place holds 15'+ and I recommend that you be in exceptional shape to surf it anywhere above 8-10'. It ain't your average beachbreak, Puerto Norte, perhaps?

Hung over
Halloween weekend binge drinking bender/surf trip.  Good conditions, a little closed out.  Cold and heavy but good experience.

Depends
The conditions are so dynamic here. It can go from soft and frumpy rolly pollies to liquified D9 death dozers in the time it takes for the tide to switch. I've focused a few boards navigating the impact zone and have had my face pinned to the sand on big days - just depends on the tide, currents, wind, etc... Overall it's a mellow place though.

Great in winter
I'vd only surfer here a few times but caught it perfect. It is definitely more powerful than anything on the South Shore. Who made that comparison?
