Little Avalon
Edit SpotAbout
Fun to surf in 2-4ft swell, once it starts getting bigger you would need to have had practice surfing it beforehand. The only downside is that it is shorter than most waves of it's class.
Atmosphere:
As a local, I have never seen an L.A lineup with more than about 20 people. If you are a blow-in, respect the locals and don't snake.
Additional Info:
Suited to a bodyboard and a shortboard. This compares to Shark island on it's day.
