Additional Surfing Infos |
| | This strictly a novelty spot: there are makeable waves if there is a strong storm with north winds. I surfed it once in a heavy snowstorm. I have pictures somewhere I'll try to find. You're only hope is for some knee to waist high soft mushburgers with a 30kt onshore wind, but it can be done!
There is loads of parking and no crowd. There might be kiteboarders now, but that hadn't been invented yet when I surfed it.
Watch out for the old pilings sticking up.

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
i surfed this a few times this and last year. gotta be an incoming tide during a big n-nw or ne windstorm, or getting lucky with a big freighter wave going south at lower tides. on one epic session in september 06, i surfed 3-4 peaks for nearly 3hrs. steep drops, a few longer rides. hard to catch windwaves, but worth the effort being it's in my hood. a few sketchy shorebreak barrels too. on a strong NE wind after 5pm or weekends, can get super crowded with kite boarders, had to really keep an eye out for the cutting cross my path. no etiquette used by them apparently. not ocean surf for sure, but a novelty wave for those in the city that don't have time to get the real stuff. i was stoked to get nice rides 2mn from my house! |

General |
hit and miss, but surfable for long boards and kayaks when firing. worth trying out. the rip off the point in deep water south of the buoy is fun too if you have a kayak or tow-in. i've seen 5' faces on big winds and strong opposing currents. |
