Additional Surfing Infos
 Beacons is a good outside break with a nice north reef too. It's hardly ever crowded. Always take of from the outside, and beware of the dumping shorebreak at North Reef.
  Overview
  Atmosphere Relatively good, not too many local problems, but the South Reef has a few loggers who like to snake you.
  General I learned to surf here, and I still surf here. It's been 7 years. Even on a crowded day there are waves to be had. North peak and south peak fill up, but the in between section works on swing wide sets. This wave is very versatile. Bring your longboard, fish, or short board and you will be stoked. On big days stay away unless you want to paddle.

Great for Kooks
I am a kook and I'm proud of it! I've only been surfing for a year and this is where I go 90% of the time. Yes, I'm 40, yes I longboard and yes I suck but at least I'm out year round. I love the vibe here, there is no local BS from what I can tell. There is plenty of room for everyone. It's like a poor man's Swamis.

local spot
I learned here as well. I generally stuck with the south peak. in-between north and south sucks. has a great shape on head-high days. can get very crowded but never aggro.

To everyone
beacons is my local spot. most people that surf here are really mellow, and i dont mind if you surf here, but show respect and stay stoked! not the greatest wave, but can get really fun!
