About

In general, I liked it much better than the other places listed so far. When there was no surf anywhere else, this place had some. There is another point break REALLY close by as well if you're in the water looking right. It's too far to paddle to though. Hop back in the truck onto 427 toward the last house near town. It will be a pretty good walk to get there over the rocks.

Atmosphere:
Decent spot when the swell is good. Sets come in 3's and are close together. Sets are spaced well apart. Consistent break point. Large boulders and sharp volcanic rock under the water in places just a little ways right of the lighthouse if you're looking from the water to shore. Seagulls will almost attack, they come within 2 feet. Entry and exit is tricky due to the large rocks that are randomly sticking up. Bottom is VERY uneven.

Additional Info:
Park near the lighthouse. Walk (WITH SHOES) to the shoreline over the rock field. Builds fast and breaks quick. You have to be in the break to catch a good left. Rights are easier.

Location

Access

You'll leave Grindavik as if you were going to Krisuvik on 427. You will get right at the end of town and take another road right toward the lighthouse. I think it is just before the "End of Town" sign. Follow this road for a short distance and it has a right hand turn off that goes to gravel. Follow this road straight to the lighthouse.
