Antonio's surfspot characteristics

More about Antonio's surfspot

General: Primarily a right wall with a shorter left, Antonio's generally has two main takeoff areas, which helps spread the crowd out a bit. When it's cooking, though, you're taking off directly in front of The Landing restaurant and racing along a series of carveable sections, whipping out your full repertoire of off-the-lips and aerials -- it's not really a death-defying wave. Antonio's only fatal flaw is that it's painfully onshore in the NE trades, which means you gotta either get up early or hope for glassy conditions or S winds. Its saving grace is that it's generally bigger than the Rincon side of the point 'cause it faces more north and it takes leftover swell and turns it into fun. Tides: Not the biggest tidal changes but lower generally better. Size: Head high-overhead Wind: South Swell: NW, N, NE Bottom: Sand and reef Paddling: Can be, depends on the swell. Spot Rating: Another option along the northern part of Rincon but fairly average.

Beginner to advanced

Parking just west of The Landing.

Late summer and fall for tropical cyclone swells but late fall through early spring for consistency.

Crowd Factor: It's pretty spread out and kinda mediocre, so not really, no. Local Vibe: Not really.

A little dirty after rains.

Not much.
