North Scripps
Edit SpotAbout
This spot is great when its working. Be friendly to the locals and you'll get some waves.
Atmosphere:
Its a great spot to get away from the crowds at south scripps (in front of the parking lot). The rides aren't as long but there faster, hollower, and more powerful. During bigger swells (7-8+) it becomes very shallow, don't paddle out unless your experienced. be prepared for late drop-ins.
