Tiburon
Edit SpotAbout
I was told of a story of a Bull shark living at this break, hence the name "Tiburon". Ive heard the shark came up to a surfer (whom i talked to) to check him out, but left him alone once he realized the surfer probably wouldn't taste fishy enough. I haven't seen it and I live right by the spot and surf it once a week. I'm not scared of it although the story does mess with my mind every once and a while when I'm sitting alone out there waiting on a set (which is not long).
Additional Info:
Tiberon (located half a click north of Milagro) is a longer more rounded classic sand bottom point set-up. This wave works well given any southerly swell direction (south through southwest) consistently providing rides in the 150 -200+ yard range. Given the nature of a long point break these waves are well suited to a full range of surf abilities from beginner to advanced. Prevailing weather conditions see glassy mornings or possible off-shore winds with onshore west/southwest winds picking up late morning to early afternoon.
