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

Family and bodysurf zone; be courteous around swimmers and don’t snake longboarders on smaller days.
