Surf: General: A beachbreak that has its days, Dillon is often walled and always smaller than nearby spots like Salmon Creek and Point Reyes. Plus, there are often funny currents due to the proximity of Tomales Bay. The place closes out over head-high, but can be a lot of fun at a smaller size. Tides: High Size: Waist high-2X overhead Wind: E, NE Swell: SW, W Bottom: Sand Paddling: Not too bad. Spot Rating: Kinda fun. Access: From Tomales, head west for a few miles along pastoral Dillon Beach Road. Crowds: Crowd Factor: Very little, unless it's a hot, sunny weekend. Tourists have been known to clog the lineup here, but there's plenty of room for everyone. Local Vibe: Not much, unless the surfer is a real jerk. Environment: Minimal and nothing really to worry about. Hazards: None. Season: July-November
