Go down the stairs at 34th street, accidently drop your board, slip off the cliff trying to catch it roll down the rest of the cliff, slip on the algae while getting into the water, and paddle out west to the point. Typically two breaks; first peak (shortboards), and second peak (longboards) |

Additional Surfing Infos |
| | Watch out getting in and out on high tide, and getting up and down the "stairs". Other than that, Pleasure is one of norcal's best breaks with a perfect wave for just about every kind of surfer. And 320 days of the year, this wave is breaking, and is good. Oh yeah, Getting in and out on a low tide can be horrible. There is a 100 foot walk out to the break through thick kelp, holes in the reef, sea urchins, random rocks, reef shelfs... For example; "the walk out won't be that bad. The surface of the water is flat, and I don't see any holes." but before you know it, you'll be dropped from ankle deep water, to chest deep water. With a twisted ankle and a dinged board. And the best part is; it's totally worth it!

General |
Most people when they think of Santa Cruz, they think of steamers lane, well, the point can get just as good or even better, and should deserve more recognition! But at the same time... -locals- "all the more for us!" |

Yikes, high tide is tricky. Just getting off the steps was a challenge. Hitting it at high tide is tough (5.8+). Far better 1.5 to 3.5.
Eating humple pie doesnt taste so good. Went to the Jetty to drink a beer and lick my wounds and found out

Incoming tide. 3.0 with a 3.8 at 1 pm. Besides the kelp, lots of waves. No crowds. Warm weather and little fun waves. Cowells was a freeway and this was open road surfing.
