About This Spot
Beachbreak near 15th Street and the river mouth with peaks that work best on SSW/WNW combo swells. Mid tide provides the best shape. When the river is flowing, peaks can get rippy. The river mouth creates a strong rip that can be turbo on big tide swings. Parking via meters and neighborhood streets.
Local Etiquette
Respect closures when the river’s flowing, spread between peaks, and share the best reforms.
