Atmosphere:
Surf City....fun town to be in....ultra crowded in the summer and surf is rare....but it can still get those special fall and winter mornings when the waves are pumping!
Additional Info:
a lot of amazing surfers grew up around this spot....the south bay has a lot of surfing history...not much here in the summer....but a big winter swell with the right conditions....
you might get lucky!
