About

Double Point, perched on the rugged shores of San Francisco's Point Reyes, offers a challenging right-hand point break that thrives with swells from the North and Northwest. The waves are best at mid to rising tide, starting to show promise at 1.5 to 2 meters, and can hold up to 3 meters or more, delivering the potential for barreling rides over sharp coral reefs. This spot, often deemed elusive and hard to access, is surrounded by dramatic cliffs and the distant call of seals, hinting at the sharks that lurk below. A journey here rewards the determined surfer with raw beauty and the thrill of the unknown, but patience is key, for the waves can be fickle.
