Surf: A cove away from Pleasure Point proper is another small point and the classic spot known as the Hook. Yet another excellent fast, hollow righthander. Best on lower tides and S swells up to a few feet overhead. The inside section can continue on and wrap into Sharks Cove which also can have a short left. Fewer good surfers here on NW swells as it loses a bit of size compared to Pleasure Point. Environment: Again crowds can make or break your surf here. Access is via steps down the sandstone bluffs, either surf out front or paddle down to Sharks. Surf: General: Not a great wave, but a pretty wave, very popular with the beginner to intermediate set. The Hook can be frustrating because it's tucked well inside the bay and is inconsistent on all but the biggest swells. On bigger swells, and particularly those rare macking S swells, the Hook transforms from a mediocre wave to a good wave. Tides: Incoming to medium Size: Waist high-overhead Wind: E, NW, glassy Swell: W, NW, S Bottom: Rock, reef Paddling: Not too bad. Spot Rating: Fun. Access: Easy parking in the parking lot. Crowds: Crowd Factor: Can be high on a good day. This place is extremely popular. Local Vibe: Kind of high. Environment: Minimal and nothing really to worry about. Hazards: Crowds, longboarders, kelp, sharp rocks. Season: January-December
