About

This is generally a fun little wave to surf. On smaller days and the right tide, it may even offer up a little more size than the other points in the area.

Atmosphere:
This spot is usually a fun alternative to its neighbor Rincon. Although the waves are not nearly as world class, you will have a lighter atmosphere and much less of a crowd.

Additional Info:
There are two main peaks on normal days. The first is sitting right under the peer and taking off in front of a good size rock. Or you can go a little farther down and take off in front of the hotel on a second peak.
Usually the first takeoff has more size, but is more competitive, so just pick what suits your ability.
Watch out for Rocks!

Jump in right near the pier if you think you can time the sets. Getting out of the water is harder. There's a little tidepool right in front of the hotel, with a 6-foot hole to get through. Otherwise go way down south where the rocks are smaller.

Location

Access

On Highway 101 in between the bates road exit and the Highway1 gold coast exit, there is a small road to turn into. Going southbound it is an easy right, northbound requires crossing the freeway of oncoming traffic at a turn off.
The spot is easily seen and access because it is under a peer going out to a small man made island.
