Additional Information
Look for this one to break on significant West swells or w-northwest, bigger than 4 ft. Big sweeping sets will round off the point and roll along the point. Lots of boils and rocks, and inconsistant take off spot. Not a hollow wave, but good speed and power. Beware of sudden boils popping up mid face. Basicly, the end of the road before the small beach next to the Long beach breakwater.
Atmosphere
Needs a good west to break. Looks fast and fun but need to avoid those rocks.
General
Seems to be less crowded than other spots around the corner to the north. Could be a fun area to score relatively uncrowded waves during west swell / low tide moments.

PV kid - who are you to judge Spunks? its better than half the spots in PV, and breaks twice as frequent. have you been out on a 10ft day? makes Lunada look like playful 5ft Uppers, but please, stay home. the only PV spot worth surfing is Cove, which is full of kooks and barneys anyway.

Cabrillo Point - Was recently down in San Pedro, at Cabrillo Beach with my chick... It was a sunny day with a head high SW swell running. This place definately has some potential being a right point break, of course. But what I noticed even more than the fun looking rights was that the place is DIRTBAG central! Lots of tattooed lowlifes everywhere!! Definately heavy vibes!!! The area is a total shithole...so what do you expect?
