Raging Waters
Edit SpotAbout
Not very good at all, clueless locals always crowd the lineup even though the waves are tiny.
Additional Info:
Always extremely crowded no matter how small and mushy the waves are. Unforgiving bottom, but there are lifeguards there to help you out. There is also a huge entrance fee which for such a crowded, powerless wave seems like a rip off. Really I don't see any reason to go here, everything you don't want in a surf spot. The almonds they sell at a nearby stand are pretty good though.
