It's just north of El Porto and Hammerlands, and north of the artificial reef. There is a huge parking lot directly above the break, it's pretty hard to miss. Look for the pipe at low tide which goes straigh out to sea.

 Informations supplémentaires

The spot is really locked down by the local crew in South Bay. You can see the wave wedge off the pipe (which goes directly out to sea) and you want to drop in early on top of the pipe, or better yet, just deep of the pipe. The left is a lot more consistent than the right, but I have seen some guys get shacked going right. The barrel is amazingly square -- like the Box in Australia.

I am pretty sure you will get vibed if the place is doing its thing, so I don't know how useful it is to go alone (unless you like to scrap with the guys). Since the takeoff is so tight, expect lots of drop ins -- which causes the problems in the water.

Also, DO NOT fall on the pipe! If you fall on the pipe, I guarantee you will lose some skin as the pipe is covered with barnacles and other sharp things!

Général

It's an amazing wave, but it doesn't get good unless the tide is higher and the swell is large. On almost any day, you can see where the spot is as the wave always refracts off the pipe to make a "warbly" wave. Check it out from Vista Del Mar(?). Screw those damn South Bay local punk surfer and spongers!
