Pacific City - Point Break, Cape Kiwanda
Edit SpotAbout
in general... this is a decent spot to surf and speciall if you have kids. There is a lot to check out with shops and the sandunes. enjoy!
Atmosphere:
chill vibe, cool contest in the summer lots of fun!The people are pertty nice out there. I didnt expierence any localism. surf respect and have fun. seems to be the motto out there at PACIFIC CITY.
Additional Info:
Good point break just south side of the cape. Works only whent the sandbars are roght on a W or WNW swell.
this is mellow break with a few locals, no bad vibes really, just a bunch of longboarders enjoying themselves.
The cove is sheltered from N and NW winds.
when you get into the parking lot look south as well there are a couple good beach breaks as well, they're right there if you take a minute to look. the large monolyth is pretty cool to look at when you surf.
