PB Point needs a solid W to NW swell in the 4-7 foot range to produce quality rights. A mid-tide around 3-4 feet gives the best shape—too low and the reef is dangerously shallow on the inside, too high and the wave gets fat and mushy. Light east offshore winds are essential for the morning glass. This spot handles NW swell better than many SD breaks thanks to the due-west aspect. It's particularly good on NW swell with longer periods (14+ seconds), which wraps around the point cleanly.
