Torrey Pines State Beach
Edit SpotAbout
it is sick bro
Atmosphere:
No one ever surfs here because it looks closed out, but it can get good.
Additional Info:
It is best to ride a board bigger than your typical shortboard because it is so fast. If you ride like a 6'3 rounded pin you will be stoked

Take Carmel Valley Road off the 5 and go left at the coast. There you are my friends. It can get insane. I surfed it at 4-5 feet (8-10 foot faces) with a 6*4 and got some of the fastest and best barrels ever!
