About

Fun place. Great to go when everything but Steamers is small. A waist to chest high surf report at Steamers is the sign for the wedge being good to go. Above that, it only gets better.

Atmosphere:
Locals think they're hot s**t. These consist mainly of barely pubescent highschool brats and low-I.Q. locals who couldn't get into college. If they try to trash you, spit in their face. That should shut them up. Best time of day is midday to avoid the high school brats. Again, don't worry about them. Chances are good that you outweigh them two to one. Literally.

Additional Info:
This is pretty much only a bodyboarding and bodysurfing spot.
You can park anywhere on West Cliff Drive facing the water (should be free w/ no time limit). There are two wedges, one that only works at high tide and one that only works at low tides.
The one that works at low tides is at the far east end of the beach. A wave will reflect off the rocks which can be ridden into the barrel of an oncoming wave (like a speed booster) or can be used to propel oneself off the resulting peak of two colliding waves to make aerial manuevers.
The high tide break is about 50 ft west up the beach. There aren't as many barrels here, but equally good aerials.
This breaks almost year round. As long as Steamers is waist high, the wedge should be doing its thing.

Location

Access

1/4 to 1/2 mile west up West Cliff Drive after Steamer Lane. There are two dog's beaches after Steamers. The first is right around the point from the lane, the second is where this break is.
