Surf: General: On big winter swells and the occasional macking S swell, 38th transforms into a world-class wave. On the biggest swells, it is possible to ride a wave from First Peak Pleasure Point all the way through 38th Avenue. Tides: Low tide Size: Knee high-2X overhead Wind: NE, N, NW, glassy Swell: SSW, SW, W, NW Bottom: Rock-reef, sand, kelp Paddling: Minimal to moderate depending on size. Spot Rating: Quite good. Access: Ask any local, access here is too easy. Just pull up to the cliff and park, then scramble down the numerous stairways. Crowds: Crowd Factor: Very crowded. This place is extremely popular with everyone. Mid-week is the best call. Local Vibe: Very edgy, especially when it's good. Environment: Minimal. It used to be bad at Sewer Peak but no longer.
