More about Penascal surfspot

General: A fairly heavy righthander. Bowly and shallow, shifty and a bit technical, with occasional rock hazards -- but the ride can be long. At low tide the wave ledges in certain sections, but is generally thick at all times, moving a lot of water. It picks up a lot of swell and is a consistently good place to check and surf, but it is not easy to master. Tides: Low. Size: Overhead to quadruple overhead Wind: NE, ENE Swell: S, SSW Bottom: Rock. Paddling: Medium Spot Rating: Fun.

Intermediate

Simple.

March-October

Crowd Factor: Can get crowded, but the wave takes care of it. Local Vibe: Mellow.
