About

Pigeon Point, perched along the rugged California coast near Pescadero, offers a canvas of sloppy, mushball waves that dance over sharp reef and rocky bottoms. The surf breaks both right and left, catching the swell from the west and southwest, rising to great heights of up to 16 feet when conditions align. While not renowned for its pristine quality, the spot boasts an untamed beauty, with the Pigeon Point Lighthouse standing sentinel above the surf. Here, solitude can be found among the waves, where the intrepid surfer escapes the crowds that plague more famous breaks.
