general information

The Queen of the Coast. This is a world famous classic point break setup. It offers long, righthand, barreling perfection purpose built for the surfboard rider. On well groomed west to northwest swells with some size to them you can ride the full length of the point from the outside takeoff all the way through to the highway. Check it at low tide for the punchiest, hollowest rides though it will work thoughout all stages of tide.

During the higher tides it's more popular with longboarders on the inside sections, but Rincon will always be super busy as it's fully visible from the highway so driveby checks are possible. Unfortunatly, Rincon can have a pollution problem, especially after heavy rains.
