Local Tips
- •Paddle out from the river channel — it saves energy and avoids the rips on the edges. The southern corner often has an overlooked shoulder that peels better on higher tides with fewer people. The right-hand reform near the cliff works great for logging or small-board turns when the main peak is packed. Watch the river debris after storms — it can bring logs or trash into the surf zone.
