Leffingwell Landing is a surf spot located off Moonstone Beach Drive. It offers a laid-back vibe, making it a nice choice for surfers looking to enjoy the waves without the crowds you might find at more popular beaches. This spot can be a lifesaver when other places are too packed or not working, especially during the winter months when the swells pick up.
This spot generally works best with a Northwest swell. It handles swell sizes up to 6 feet (about 1.8 meters) and breaks over a rocky ledge, creating a right-hand wave. The wave can be a bit tricky with some sections and a few boils involved, but it’s manageable for those who know what they’re doing. The winds from the east help to shape the waves nicely, and it can work well at low, mid, and high tide. Just remember, when it's on, you'll probably see some local surfers out enjoying the conditions.
While Leffingwell Landing isn't always guaranteed to deliver epic surf sessions, it’s definitely a spot worth checking out, especially when the swell direction aligns just right. Keep an eye on the swell reports, and if conditions are looking good, it can be a fun time out on the water.
