Seaside Point

About

world class point break with some world class assholes frequenting there.....if the guy in the battered volvo wagon doesn't get you....maybe a rogue great white shark will!

Atmosphere:
Incredible perfect peeling point lefts in a woodsy Pacific Northwest setting....Cobblestone shore and a great cove inside with even more fun surf!...Only rode it once but caught some wonderful waves....Very cold...water and air...most of the year but if the surfs up.....

Additional Info:
Goofyfooter's paradise if you don't mind ultra cold water....beautiful surroundings....Perfect point surf....and extremely misguided mindless locals behaving in a way reminiscent of the 70s

Know your limits if you're not a strong surfer watch and wait for the crowd to thin out. The crew usally goes in at high tide don't despare some of my best sessions have been when when every body else thinks it's bad. Don't show up with a car lode of guys with twenty boards piled on top and expect your only going to get the left overs but they're the best left overs you've ever had. If the point is packed , don't overlook the shore break or the cove, they too can go off.

Access

Park in the beach lot at the south end of town...
You'll be right at the base of the point....leave an armed guard at your car if you don't have Oregon license plates....Take mace or a waterproof 9mm out to the break with you.....Don't take any trouble from anybody and let them know you're armed!....Good Luck!
