Additional Surfing Infos |
| | Plenty of parking on the south side of the pier. Sand bars are always shifting depending on the time of year. Big, mean, and powerful in the winter. Currents can be unpredictable and shifty. Good left on the north side of the pier occasionally. South side of the pier usually breaks best in front of either drainage pipes. Watch out for the metal skewers sticking out of the sand in front of the first drainage pipe from the pier.

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
If you live in the area, it is always worth checking. Best conditions in the fall or spring. It's always more powerful/bigger than it looks from the pedestrian walkway so know your limits. Fisherman can be jerks if your surfing next to the pier (I have had fisherman cast directly at me several times). |
| |
General |
Rarely epic, but worth checking. Usually empty lineup so bring a buddy. Winter is for strong waterman only. In the summer you can grab some bbq from the pier cafe after your session. |
