 Informations supplémentaires

Stone Steps is the ultimate female surfspot in that it is very, very fickle. It breaks everyday, is NEVER crowded, but is never, ever predictable. Locals love the spot, but are always willing to share since only two or three locals are ever out at one time.
Most of the time (80%) the waves are closed out, mushy, choppy, or all of the above, but when it gets good it is a shredable and hollow left, along with a peeling right. The left is just slightly south of the stairs, and the right is about fifty yards north of the stairs. Farther south is Roseta Street, which gets pretty good too. About three hundred yards north is Secrets which can get really good. It can get extrememly hollow. The best waves are in the summer, because there is more sand to shape the wave, but it always seems to be blown out in the winter. If you make it a poing to surf it everyday for a month, you will get some of the best surf you ever had, but you have to stay on it. It is very safe. The only hazard is the fact that if you start to drown, no one will be there to save you, so bring a friend. Big winter storms can sometimes hold their shape up to fifteen foot faces, but there is not channel in the winter and the paddle is brutal. If you live there, you will love it. Everyone else hates it.

Atmosphère

I grew up here and love the spot. I have been tubed, gone vertical, caught air, and had a wonderful time surfing there. It isn't as good as it was in the seventies (when there was a ton of sand on the beach) for now it is a cobblestone beach in the winter, and a small sand beach in the summer. There used to be a large local force there, but now it is a forgotton gem in North San Diego County. This entire stretch of beach should always be checked, because it is NEVER crowded, even on the best days. It is also very safe, except for the isolation factor. If you get hurt, it's a long way to get help unless someone on the cliff sees you and calls 911. Love the place like I do and you will be rewarded. Most North San Diego County locals do not know this spot, and the ones who do will curse it as the fickle lady she is. But even a fickle woman has a few good days, right?

Général

It is my home, I am a life-long local, and I love it. Locals here welcome anyone, especially on the good days. I like the rights, but the lefts are more popular.
