Additional Surfing Infos |
| | Nice point break when breaking! Needs to be at least 4 ft swell. Great beginner spot.
A winter break that doesn't work as often as we'd all like because it needs a direct west swell. The Channel Islands block summer south swells, and steep northerly swells don't hit right.

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
As far as campgrounds go, Refugio has it all for ocean folk - a potentially fun little point break, awesome fishing / kayaking / kelp forests to the north and south, a great beach, great camp sites, RV hookups, a beer store, etc ... but beware ... it's notorius for being the toughest place to reserve a campsite during peak season, Even when we try to plan ahead, we get somehow get screwed, their reservation system is lame-o. |

I love Refugio!
Went to Refugio, waves look so bad we almost didn't get in. But ended up with a great session and got a lot of great rides. Realized that I am a goofy foot. Knowing this will help a lot.
