Fast, thin righthand lines at the Big Sur Rivermouth; blows offshore with the prevailing NW wind, so it's a good call on swell days that are blown-out elsewhere. Needs a bigger W or S swell and lower tides to eliminate backwash. Semi-point set-up. Shallow gravel bottom. Beautiful spot.
Accessed by walking nearly a mile from the dirt lot at the park's entrance. Cheap camping here. Can get somewhat crowded with surfers and large sealife.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
