Boneyard surf guide

Surf: General: Just past Ulu, at the very top of the point, Boneyard is a gnarly-looking reef within a bowl of rocks. Not the friendliest surf spot on the California coast, Boneyard is a right that takes all that winter swell right on the bean. The waves are big, the takeoff area is small. Tides: Incoming, medium Size: Head high-overhead Wind: E and SE Swell: W, NW, N Bottom: Rock reef Paddling: Moderate. Spot Rating: Fun. Access: Lots of easy parking. Crowds: Crowd Factor: Can be high when wave is good. Local Vibe: Yes. Environment: Clean. Hazards: Gnarly rocks, gnarly locals, big surf. Season: September-February
