A pocket beach just east of Refugio, clearly visible from the highway. Somewhat mediocre peaks, usually not very good, but it can get fun during windswells. Can?t really handle anything over head high. Rock and sand bottom. Needs a low tide; high tide creates backwash. The peak at the east end offers decent, fat, mushy lefts and shorter, hollower rights. Various peaks to the east as well. The peak at the west end is a lined-up right with lots of rock boils. Sectiony and rather mushy but well worth it if the east peak is crowded, which it often is due to the easy drive-by surf check.
Dirt roadside parking is the extent of facilities. Look both ways before crossing the railroad tracks.

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.
