Windansea
Edit SpotAbout
pretty awesome spot sometimes in the winter it gets double overhead + and pretty heavy...definatley a classic spot
Atmosphere:
Dont drop in on anyone, locals are generally pretty cool but it can get bad when it gets crowded on the weekends and the guys that think theyre hot stuff come out. Parkings usually pretty full, just park farther up the street and walk, its not too bad
Additional Info:
eaks farther out at low tide...better time to surf. paddle out just south of the surf shack (historical landmark, come in the same way. Left on the wave can barrel at times with the right swell. Windansea is the main peak, on the right swell Big Rock will break (NW, WNW, sometimes a west) which is directly south of Windan and breaks in hollow, left, peeling barrels on a shallow reef in front a big rock that sticks out of the water...super hollow its SD's pipeline when it gets good. Rights and lefts are both good at windansea
