Skill Level

  • •Who it's for: Intermediate
  • •Why: The waves are predictable and forgiving, great for developing surfers but lacks challenge for advanced surfers.

Hazards

  • •Shallow reef at low tide
  • •Occasional longboard collisions (popular surf school spot)
  • •Parking and access can be competitive on weekends

Local Tips

  • •Mondos is a great fallback when C Street is overcrowded, it sits just up the coast and picks up similar swell.
  • •High tide smooths out the reef and provides the most forgiving conditions.
