Additional Information
State parking super easy to use. Stay in middle of cove because the break can come in a left one set and a right the next. Watch out for bounce back from the cliff's to the right which make sideways A-Pex's wave's good only for boogie boards.
Atmosphere
Great easy spot for surfing and boogie boards. My main thing is be cool to the local's! We're a tourist town and we grow here so please be friendly,
ask questions, and remember we grew here so dont dog us out there.

- I was riding the lift the other day snowboarding, and this dude was claiming Fort Canby does break, and he surfs it, I came on here to see if there was any chatter.

get real - I've been riding for years, people say weekend warriors shouldnt show up and if you dont know how to surf stay home, I'm confused, how do people learn if they dont go, but I suppose that some people fell out their mommas but on a surfboard. but then again what is some punk kid with a goofy haircut gonna do anyway.
