More about Seaside Reef surfspot

General: Seaside Reef is predominantly a left that can suck out on the takeoff, then flatten out on the shoulder before reforming into a quick and whackable shorebreak. The right off the peak is much softer, but with a bit of effort, it can be milked along to the same inside section. On extreme low tides, the left will produce some serious tubes. On days without much swell and a high tide, the inside shorebreak can be a fun option. Tides: low Size: shoulder-high to 3 feet overhead Wind: E Swell: W, NW (15 second or under) Bottom: Reef at Seaside and Tabletops (just to the south), sand at George's Paddling: Pretty average most days. Spot Rating: Rippable reef.

Intermediate to advanced

Could not be any easier.

November-March

Crowd Factor: Not too hectic although the takeoff zone at Seaside Reef can be tight. Local Vibe: A few hecklers at Seaside, but otherwise mellow.

Possibly some minor runoff from San Elijo Lagoon.
