About

Greyhound Rock is a great surf area and deserves to be better known.  Both lefts can be totally epic and the northern NW swell spot is a real day-in-day-out workhorse.  There are also many other good spots in the area, as you'll quickly see if you start exploring.  Some of those spots are fickle and others are localized so tread lightly and learn.

Atmosphere:
Don't forget that this is in a shark area.  It's also a heavily fished spot and may have some chum-happy sharks.  None the less, I surfed it for two years, mostly alone and never saw so much as a fin.  It's a little lonely there in the winter.  The spot is also a world-class beach and can get some nudists (mostly to the north) in the summer.

Additional Info:
Grehound Rock is actually two spots.  The heavy wedge-like left in front of the main big rock breaks on a S or SW.  Out in front the smaller rock to the north is another left out on a submerged reef that breaks on all W & NW swells.  The NW spot is the more consistent of the two but the SW spot has an insane, perfect, extremely powerful barrel.  For seasoned barrel riders only!
