South Mission beach
Edit SpotAbout
Very good hollow backdoor to the right and since I´m a sponger this wave was perfect for airs and stuff, since the first section is a barrel and the next section of the wave is´t pretty rampy
Atmosphere:
I´m a brazilian guy who lived in San Diego in 2001. I lived at Point loma, right next to Ob and Mission beach, so the Jetty was my homebreak when the conditions were good.
Additional Info:
The South Mission Jetty holds a classic left sand wedge peaking just off the jetty channel. It breaks on a west or northwest and is ideal on a low to mid-tide. Its wall is rippable and the pocket sometimes barrels. The rock jetty wards off a south wind fairly well, and the wave can have good form when the rest of Mission is blown out.
