general information

Another popular one with the students. This stretch of beach has a few differing peaks along it. Firstly there are the crumbly reefs breaks a good 300 - 400 metre paddle offshore that need a lower tide. On the end of Pescaderos Street there a high energy, fun beach break that offers good quality peaks in a northwest wind. Then there is another beach break just the other side of the point to Campus Point which can be ok at mid tide in peakier swells. There are a few breaks around to look out for too.
