Pickleweed Point

Pickleweed Point, nestled at the north edge of Dog Beach in San Diego County, offers a canvas of shifting sands and playful waves that beckon the adventurous soul. This sand-bar break serves rippable right and left-handers, fueled by north and south swells, best during a rising tide when the waves swell between 5 to 6 feet, occasionally delivering barrels that echo the magic of Indonesia. The atmosphere is friendlier on weekdays, but the locals may cast a wary eye on weekends, so come prepared to share the stoke with the spirited crowd. Park along Cedros Avenue, and a short walk leads you to the surf, where the waves roll in, waiting for those who dare to ride.
