About

Probably the best wave in orange county...not for shape, length of ride etc etc but because you can score fat heavy lefts with like 2 friends.

Atmosphere:
Really quiet. if you ever find yourself out here on a pumping day you'll probably just be there with a couple friends. everyone else will be at 54th or wedge.

Additional Info:
It only breaks a few times a year and takes a huge south swell to get really good. Its a left only when its on and its really fast. If you cant stand up fast you should just bodyboard it cuz thats what we all do anyways...if its over 7 ft. it gets really heavy and slabby and unlike spots like wedge its really shallow here. Wedge breaks more in deep water....middles breaks alot shallower but its not shorebreak....its kinda between a shorebreak and beach break...and yeah...if it gets up to 10 ft it gets pretty unruly.

Location

Access

This spot isnt schoolyards. Schoolyards is more around the 15th street area. Middles is closer to Balboa pier. Theres not really a designated street but its anywhere between 6th and 10th street...its usually one long wall anyways. Its best in september and october with a big clean south swell when it gets a little more peaky but stays just as heavy.
