Additional Information

Travelling around from Long Beach brings you to a series of outer reefs, so take your pick. Boneyards is an outer reef where long walling waves break over kelp beds. Best when it's glassy and a Westerly groundswell is running. It entails a pretty long paddle, but can be an insane wave when perfect.

Atmosphere

Watch out for sharks and kelp. Gets Huge here and then it becomes sketchy. A powerful wave better left for experienced surfers when big.

General

Classic, long, cold perfection.
