Boneyards

Edit Spot
About

Fun, easy spot. Sometimes less crowed than other breaks because of the walk to get there but it can get good and very crowded.

Atmosphere:
If it gets really big, Boneyards is one of the first spots I check. There is a lookout at K street that gives perfect views of Swamis and Boneyards, but no access from here. It breaks best mid tide or going to low. It is usually crowded, and when Swamis is firing, it is hard to walk past a perfect right to the overlooked left, but it is sometimes worth it.

There are rights as well much shorter but still fun.

Additional Info:
Good during bigger swells when D Street is closing out, and when Swamis is way too crowded. Even during really good swells on a warm sunny winter day you will have plenty of people to compete with. Lefts are long and fun. Takeoffs going left are slow and muschy, but keep pumping the wave, and you might make it over the flat spots. Rights are a little steeper. They offer shorter rides, but outside they are much more workable then the lefts but there is no inside section because there is an unreliable channel south of the break.

On Smaller summer/fall days. It can get really fun very similar to San Onofre wave. Much better for longboarders when under 6ft

Access

It is 10-20 min walk from where you park. Either park at D Street, then walk south towards Swamis about 15-20 min, depending on the tide, or at Swamis. If parking at Swamis, walk is 5-10 min, but it can't be made at really high tides, as the water may be too high to walk along the beach.
