Scotchmans Cove
Edit SpotAbout
best spots ive seen in OC
Atmosphere:
With the right swell and tide, this place goes off. It has to be a Huge S swell for this place to work. Sucks up super hard on the reef and just dumps. really hollow and bowly too. fun.
Additional Info:
If you are not that familar with the area, be aware. This place is super localized. So if your gonna paddle out, dont bring more than one friend, keep to yourself, and rip.
