About

In general - few people out, great crowd, and great surf. Easy access and great local spot.

Atmosphere:
there's a mixup here...the description given of the location is that of Agate Beach (0r just "Agate") not NORTH Agate There's never been a north Agate... there was/is a spot on the north side of Yaquina Head called "Northside" but it was so seldom surfable that people just sort of gave up on it and you dont hear much about it these days...someone needs to correct this naming mistake...causes confusion...really dont need two names for this one spot

Additional Info:
You can see this spot from the top of the hill after you make your turn. If it is a great day, you will see the alongshore waves going right to left. At mid to high tide, the rip along the rocks will take you right out to the break. On big days, the waves will be breaking to the left of the point about 100 to 200 yards south. What a great spot.
