About
At Pickle Weed Point in San Diego, the waves break right, a hollow barrel forming at the rivermouth where the sandy bottom meets scattered rocks. It works best with a northwest, west, or southwest swell, rolling in at a modest 3 to 5 feet but capable of hitting 6 feet or more when conditions align. The local vibe can be friendly on weekdays but shifts to a more tense atmosphere on weekends, so tread carefully among the seasoned locals. A short walk from Dog Beach leads you to this fickle gem, where the right tide and swell can make for a session reminiscent of Indonesia's finest.
