About

Little Point, nestled in San Diego County, offers a rocky reef break where waves roll in with hollow barrels, catering to the intermediate surfer. It thrives on mid rising tides and works best with swells from the Northwest and South, holding up to 10 feet or more on a good day. The takeoff is steep, and both left and right-hand rides are available, but caution is necessary due to sharp coral and rocks. With a tight take zone, the spot can get crowded, yet it remains a coveted gem for those seeking both challenge and beauty in the surf.
