West punt
Edit SpotAbout
Be hardcore but don't get yourself killed.
Atmosphere:
Best when big and connects all the way through Rancho and Arashi beach.
You can find some waves here even when Arashi and Rancho are flat. It's a good alternative for when you drove all the way to Rancho and it's flat but really wanna paddle out. I love this spot for longboarding.
Additional Info:
Go with a local.
You can jump of the rocks or there is a small beach to enter/exit about 50m from the spot. First timers, paddle around and find your line through the rocks that stick out.
