Hammerland
Edit SpotAbout
Great place during cold winter mornings.
Atmosphere:
During the weekend you may have local problems (funny how weekend twinkies call themselves local). If you are good, you wont have any problems. Overall good vibe.
Additional Info:
Great in the winter!!! Empty lineup, killer drops and barrels. The rights stand up on a North West swell, and on one of those rare off shore days, you WILL have one of the best waves in So Cal to ride. Just north of El Porto - you do have to worry about sewage....
