Pillar Point
Edit SpotAbout
a great spot to practice your drop knee or cutback turns but your not going to get shacked
Atmosphere:
Hardly anybody goes out here. On most days two or three older guys on longboards sharing and trading waves. I saw a guy here once riding the nose all the way along the rocks from the take of spot to the east.
Additional Info:
2 breaks really... a mushy peak in the cove near the river mouth and up around the point a fun wave that walls up for a long time .
