 Surf Spot Characteristics

 Additional Information

Theres about 5 peaks in the Tamarack area. The one straight out from the bathrooms is very much a longboard spot, with mostly mushy waves that break further from shore. The closer and closer you get towards the jetty, the waves breaker closer to shore, are much shorter rides, and get much more hollow. Right next to the jetty is mostly a bodyboarder spot, as it can be caught a little outside, then turns into powerful barreling shorebreak. Straight out between the jetties is another spot, and my opinion one of the best. It only breaks on days with 4+, but it will sometimes barrel for a long time as a left, all the way to the shorebreak just north of the jetty. The problem is it only breaks at a very low tide coming in, and there is a VERY strong tow that trys to pull you towards the jettys. You must be a very strong swimmer to surf this spot for more then a few minutes. The last peak is actually just off the south jetty. It breaks at anything 3ft+. It doesn't barrel nearly as much as tamarack, but is a very fun right when the other peaks are crowded, and there are multiple peaks to take off on. On a good wave you can catch the right from 25 yards outside the jetty all the way in to the beach.
