2 breaks really... a mushy peak in the cove near the river mouth and up around the point a fun wave that walls up for a long time .
Overview
Atmosphere
Hardly anybody goes out here. On most days two or three older guys on longboards sharing and trading waves. I saw a guy here once riding the nose all the way along the rocks from the take of spot to the east.
General
a great spot to practice your drop knee or cutback turns but your not going to get shacked
no waves
even if you were to have access to this beach, there are no waves worth surfing. Maybe on a kayak.

NO Pillar Point
The directions given to the surf spot off Pillar Point are not valid. The access is on Private Property, owned by M&R. I emailed them about beach access specifically for surfing and the replied simply: " The beach is closed to all public access. Sincerely, Joseph F.Murray "So just for any FYI, there is NO pillar point unless you of course have the advantage of skirting the Straits by boat.Furthermore, I'd just like to add a comment about all that, is that when I visited Pysht River Road and talked with them in person on 10/17/04, they explained that to allow access for surfing is forbiidden due to "liability issues". However if you visit http://www.merrillring.com/, you'll see that they DO allow hunting on their properties. So I guess that waves are more dangerous than bullets around those parts.Thats all I have to report, PEACE!-NCK
