Home of So. Cal. Longboard Surf Culture, Heaven on Earth

Atmosphere:
Usual on Low to mid tide but it will take a higher tide on big swells... best swell direction= sw... straight south doesn't get in.. west swells are unruly here..a nw will get in here if it is 10+ everywhere else... that's when Cropley's might break providing there has been enough sand pushed out to form a sand bar from trafalgar creek... this wave is gutless under head high... and gets good head high to double overhead.....

Additional Info:
