About

Salt Creek Heroins, nestled in Dana Point, California, is a rare gem for surfers seeking epic rides. This point break offers both right and left waves, breaking over a sharp reef and sand mix, and comes alive with Northwest to West swells, holding up to 12 feet on the right day. Best surfed at mid-tide with rising and falling conditions, the spot is known for its powerful, rippable waves that can deliver hollow barrels, though it is notoriously fickle, often only firing a handful of times each year. Tread carefully on the sharp rocks and watch for localism; it’s a wild ride for those brave enough to chase the swell.
