Surf: The town beach can hold some nice triangular sandbars at La Brea with some fun corners amongst the close-out barrels. Takes all swells but faces west so you will need to head towards the southern headland at Balconies or maybe up at the huge concrete pier at Puerto Negritos for wind protection. The left point at Punta Balconies is usually messy and ill defined but there can be some protected left walls amongst the minefield of rocks. Environment: The water must be clean around here as sea lions and dolphins frequent the place.
