Birdhits

On the rugged shores of San Clemente Island, Birdhits beckons with world-class left point-breaks that rise powerfully from the northern swells, reaching their peak at 8 to 10 feet. The boulder-strewn bottom adds an element of challenge, while the best rides unveil themselves during the falling tide at low, revealing the wave’s true character. Here, the ocean whispers tales of rippable barrels and thrilling cutbacks, where mastery and respect for the elements are paramount. As the northwest winds dance above, only the truly dedicated venture out to claim their share of this hidden gem, where the surf is as wild as the surrounding seas.
