T Street

Edit Spot
About

It's my favorite spot in all of Orange County.

Atmosphere:
It's a friendly place. A larger crowd in the AM hours though - so, watch out.

Additional Info:
T Street, on a small day, has breaks all over the place. It's known for its consitency - but it doesn't always put up perfect rights or lefts. It's sometimes better at low tide.
The main spots are:
<b>the Reef</b>: lefts start to break slowly and have a fast bowl after. Rights are long walls with a final shorebreak.
<b>Cropley's</b>: only during winter. fast rights. In front of the snack bar. Need a NW swell.
<b>Beach House</b>: sandbar, lefts and rights. Less crowded. The inside is generally all sand, but cropleys is sharp, barnacle covered rocks. The reef has a bunch of rocks and kelp that get annoying when it gets caught on you leash. All in all fun wave when it's 3-4+.
