About This Spot
The north end of Ocean Beach near the Cliff House can handle large winter swells, producing heavy A-frame peaks and long walls. Strong rips and cold water make it suitable only for experienced surfers.
Local Etiquette
Only experienced surfers should paddle out; don't paddle out alone in heavy surf.
