Smooth flat water off launch, work your way up wind to the point, small to medium surf at the point, which rolls all the way into the bay on a bigger NW swell. Respect the surfers, stay outside if crowded or work more upwind to reef breaks off cliffs. Stay up wind of the breakwater, if you cannot, make a down wind run past the harbor and wharf to East beach, walk back 20 min. Nice downwinder anyway. Best winds from March to September. Best with WSW. Nice weather all year round, a wetsuit is always needed due to cold water. Water: Flat, Smallwave, Mediumwave. Features: Shower, Toilet, Food, Parking. Rider ability: Beginner, Intermediate, Expert.
