Cabrillo Point

Edit spot

About

Seems to be less crowded than other spots around the corner to the north. Could be a fun area to score relatively uncrowded waves during west swell / low tide moments.

Atmosphere:
Needs a good west to break. Looks fast and fun but need to avoid those rocks.

Additional Info:
Look for this one to break on significant West swells or w-northwest, bigger than 4 ft. Big sweeping sets will round off the point and roll along the point. Lots of boils and rocks, and inconsistant take off spot. Not a hollow wave, but good speed and power. Beware of sudden boils popping up mid face. Basicly, the end of the road before the small beach next to the Long beach breakwater.

Location

Access

Near LA Outer Harbor. Take the Pacifis Avenue in San Pedre. Walk down the cliff path to the south of the break.
