I got vibed here just standing and watching one day!
(with no surfboard)
Atmosphere:
My grandma could get an in&out tube here!! It's THAT predictable!!! Go to Terranea's Catalina Kitchen for a bite to eat after surf, or Nelsons grill and bar and relax on a beer after a scary session.
Additional Info:
Only will break on the biggest Winter swells of the year. A short in&out tube on the good days, but on average days its a short closeout on the rocks. Very scenic location and beautiful surroundings. You can't see the break from the road, so it's a secret spot. Prepare to get vibed pretty heavily if anyone's around. There's a small crew who surf here when it's on. The 1 take off spot is 10ft wide and no insiders. It is a relatively obscure spot, as many people don't even know about it. But expect to be vibed!!!
