Pitas Point, located in Faria County Park, is a surf spot known for its scenic views and diverse wave options. It's a popular alternative to the more crowded Rincon, but don't expect consistent action here. When it’s good, it can be a great spot to catch some waves, especially during the winter months from October to February. There’s camping nearby, and parking can be found at Faria County Park, making it a decent spot to spend the day.
The surf here features long righthand waves that break over cobblestones and sand. The best results typically show up with solid winter swells from the west and northwest, and it can handle sizes from 4ft (1.2m) to 12ft (3.6m). At low tide, especially during minus low tides, the inside section can become quite exciting with ledgy right walls that offer five to six-second tubes for those lucky enough to catch them. While most of the action is on the rights, there's also a left breaking north of the main outside point. It's ideal for intermediate surfers, and you'll need to check the wind, as northeast winds work best here.
The access to the waves can be a bit tricky, especially at high tide, so be prepared to walk a bit. The crowd factor is moderate; you’ll find some locals around, but the vibe is usually chill. Just keep an eye out for a few rocks while you're out there. This spot’s got everything from fast, hollow breaks on the outside to slower, mushy peaks inside the bay that can cater to longboarders, so there's plenty to keep surfers of different skills entertained.
