Barber's Point - Coast Guard Jetty
Edit SpotAbout
Conditions are best first thing in the morning, and if the wind gets on it, it will get all choppy and junky.
Atmosphere:
It's kind of a long paddle-out, but that helps keep the kids away. The regulars are usually older, and laid back. No localism here.
Additional Info:
The wave itself won't break until it's head high or bigger. It breaks with a lot of force, and is occasionally hollow. It can provide long long rides if you're into speed runs down long, powerful walls.
Location
Loading...Access
Somewhat secluded from view, the access is through Barber's Pt. Head towards the ocean, and then travel west until you pass the Coast Guard Hangar. There is a small park there with facilities and fisherman. Park there, and paddle straight out from the jetty itself.
