Hwy 8 West to Sunset Cliffs Blvd. Take a right at West Point Loma Blvd. then a Right on Voltaire Street. Go west into the Parking lot turn left and park at the south end. Avalanche is north of the little jetty south of Brighton Street.
Always some ridable surf here even on the smallest days. Lots of cross ups make for some fun hollow waves. Surf cam at sundiego.com points directly at the wave so check it out.
Standard?
I would have to say that the wave quality being standard is a understatement it gets consistent and nice hollow right barrels in as little as chest high. This place has great form, it should be considered a regional classic. I mean cmon, if 15th street in Del Mar is considered a regional classic then this place definitely ought to be.

Be prepared (when it's good) to have people paddle directly at you with no regard for safety...tight line-ups are the norm in SoCal but this place takes it hands down.
