About
Churches Point, nestled in San Diego County, offers a regional classic surf experience with both right and left waves breaking over a sandy bottom interspersed with rocks. This rivermouth spot thrives on swells from the Northwest, West, and Southwest, starting to work at a modest 1 to 1.5 meters and capable of holding waves over 5 meters when conditions align. The ideal surf occurs during low to mid tide on a falling tide, when barrels peel off with vigor. With the ocean’s power at play, one can expect a challenging yet rewarding ride amid the coastal beauty of California.
