D Street

Edit Spot

About

Fun wave some of the time. Surf it early in the morning for least crowd and best conditions or late in afternoon. Dont bother with this spot miday as the wind will usally kill it.

Atmosphere:
Experienced Surfers only here. It is steep and you need a shortboard. Longboarders be prepared to break your logs the wave is powerful and breaks in 4ft deep water most of the time. Steep take offs with spitting barrels (on the best day of the year) and lots of ramps for boostin.

Additional Info:
Good in the summer. Can get very powerful even when small (compared to other north county breaks). Lefts and better than rights. Most of the time it just a very short ride but often has powerful barrels that will SPIT. One of the most consistent "spitting" waves in SD. Dont drop in on anyone there are some locals that will get mad. Show respect and have fun.
