Additional Information
The South Mission Jetty holds a classic left sand wedge peaking just off the jetty channel. It breaks on a west or northwest and is ideal on a low to mid-tide. Its wall is rippable and the pocket sometimes barrels. The rock jetty wards off a south wind fairly well, and the wave can have good form when the rest of Mission is blown out.
Atmosphere
I´m a brazilian guy who lived in San Diego in 2001. I lived at Point loma, right next to Ob and Mission beach, so the Jetty was my homebreak when the conditions were good.
General
Very good hollow backdoor to the right and since I´m a sponger this wave was perfect for airs and stuff, since the first section is a barrel and the next section of the wave is´t pretty rampy

LOcals - Ya theres some dicks out there but you gotta say ***ck the locals and drop in on them for talking spit. The locals do get a bit annoying sometimes they try to distract you on a wave by screaming like a bi**h. All in all the locals are a bunch of meth addicts living in the 70's.
Ya you gatta catch thoes tweakers on the street; break there boards. Acting like surfing is gang bangin. Get shot local puntang.
