North Beach Pyramid Rock
Edit SpotAbout
a winter oasis from the craziness of the country up north. catches the same swells but has an eastside attitude. slower, somewhat lazier. the waves can be epic often though. some of the longest barrels i've seen rivaling any wave up in the country.
Atmosphere:
if you can get there, you're stoked. if it's on, you are in heaven.
Additional Info:
sandbar/reef combo. there are areas that break more consistently. several peaks. pyramid rock further down beach to left. watch out for MP's on beach who ask for identification and will otherwise make your life hell.
Location
Loading...Access
very difficult as it is on an existing marine base. access is limited to those who live there or can be sponsored on somehow. the days of sneaking on are over. sneak attack by boat, until the MP's nab you.
