Surf: Good left pointbreak in downtown Pacific Grove; only breaks with solid winter swells, bigger than head high. Offshore on southerly storm winds, so rainy conditions are the norm for Lovers Point sessions. Watch out for a few exposed rocks at lower tides and protective locals. Surf: General: A little slice of Ireland. Lover's Point is a left that wraps into a rocky cove popular with swimmers and divers. It's the first of a half-dozen left points that lead all the way to the top of the peninsula. Best fall through spring, with winter being the most consistent. Picturesque as all hell. Tides: Incoming to medium Size: Waist high-overhead Wind: E and SE Swell: W, NW, N Bottom: Sand and rock Paddling: Not too bad. Spot Rating: Good. Access: Lots of parking on street and in lots. Crowds: Crowd Factor: This place can't handle too many people, and there are lots of other waves around. Local Vibe: Roger that. Environment: Mostly clean. Hazards: Rocks, kelp, inconsistency. Season: September-May
