About
Terminals, nestled on the rugged San Clemente Island, offers world-class right-hand point breaks that curl beautifully over boulder-strewn bottoms. The waves come alive with swells from the north, northwest, and west, starting to work at a modest 5 to 6 feet and holding strong well beyond 16 feet when the conditions align. With favorable tides all day, this remote gem is reserved for those who seek barrels and the thrill of untouched waves. Here, the ocean speaks to the soul of the surfer, a wild and powerful dance that demands respect and skill.
