Fort Canby- "A" jetty
Edit SpotAbout
Compared to more famous breaks through out the world this place blows. Breaks excellent about 10 times a year, other than that you're looking at 15 foot closeouts with more power than Pipeline.
Atmosphere:
Rocks, shipwrecks, sharks, seals, and abandoned crab pots. This place has several danger factors. However, when everywhere else is blown out or not holding the size Alpha Jacks is the place to go. It frequently closes out but catch it on the right day and hollow "A" frames with not a soul out is what you'll see. Watch the Billabong Odessey.
Additional Info:
Located on a military base. 10 minute paddle from the local state park.
