Leo Carillo
Edit SpotAbout
Good place to camp but a truly mediocre wave.
Additional Info:
Overcrowded mediocre point break. Slow rolling lines good for longboarders and those that would just like to cruise. Pretty spot and for some strange reason water that is colder than beaches to the north and south. On winter swells it can get some juice but can't hold much size. The outside takeoff is right next to a large rock that can become a nightmare when crowded.
