Beware of locals and bring nothing valuable with you. And it helps to show some respect in the line-up.
Atmosphere
The wave here is peaky and sectioning at times, but will line up all the way down the beach from one end of the cove to the other. A very consistant spot...the wave breaks on smaller days when marias and others are not...that's why it can get crowded.
General
Great wave, try it out if you have some experience...it quickly became my favorite wave while I stayed there.

Great spot. Respect the locals! - A friend and I surfed this spot last week. Luckily some locals helped us on where to paddle out and were insanely nice to us. I noticed a lot of tourist not giving them any respect (a lot of glares, drop ins, maybe because most of the locals are body boarders.) We ended up camping on the beach. The locals fed us and made sure there was always a drink in hand. Hands down the nicest surfers I've met.

No 4 star - Spent the winter of 75 in Rincon. Surfed domes alot in my opinion you have overrated this spot. True it is very consistent but I remember it to be kind of fat and often mushy. Lots of fun but not a 4 star wave.

Selling Domes? - Anyone have any information on what is going on with the property near Domes beach? Heard someone bought it and there has been big problems with access and such?
