Crescent bay
Edit SpotAbout
Occasionally breaks with good form, quick little a-frames with a little bit of power, mostly hollow.
Atmosphere:
Negative low tide is a must, 260(WSW)-280(WNW) is the best swell direction for fun wedgie shorepound, starts to wedge off the south point. Higher tide and any other swell direction is simply closed out shorepound with no ridable shape at all.
Additional Info:
watch for seals and dolphins... turn down cliff drive in laguna
Best size during summer, best form during late winter/spring
