Backyard OG (ocean gallery)
Edit SpotAbout
Great place to catch uncroweded waves that are just as good if not better than A street and Matanas Inlet.
Atmosphere:
24 miles of beach lead up to this beautiful green wave that sits in warm water 8 months of the year. The wave has a classic A frame shape and peels slower to the right, laid back locals and of course sexy babes on the beach.
Additional Info:
Best place to park is in the Ocean Gallery Condos resort. There's a bunch of peaks so no need to sit in a 20 man line up just to share a wave. Instead choose one of the many open peaks along this spot. Late take offs end up in sandbar sandwiches
