About This Spot

Luscombs Point is a left-handing reef at Sunset Cliffs that produces long, powerful walls during west swells. Access is via a fenced point where surfers climb down the rocks and jump off a ledge; timing your entry with the incoming waves is critical. The wave is fast and shallow, so it's suited to advanced surfers.

Local Etiquette

Wait your turn on the ledge and don't drop in on the locals; keep noise down for neighborhood residents.
