Patricks Air Force Base
Edit SpotAbout
Overall the spot seemed like a chilled and relaxed place if you want to surf with just a few friends. If you're looking for a spot to get away from people during the week or only see a few locals on the weekend, Patrick's is the place to go for a few fun waves
Atmosphere:
This spot seemed like a good place for beginning surfers to get there feet wet. While the waves aren't perfect and peeling, the had form and shape, letting some of the less talented groms get up and move a round.
Additional Info:
Make sure when you go to Patricks you park in the southern parking lot, otherwise you'll end up paying for your session.
