Pigeon Point Surf Guide

Pigeon Point is offshore when everything north is blown out. But Pigeon Point isn't really a surf spot. Some people claim that there is a right there on big S swells, but big S swells around here are uncommon. Others say there is a giant right that breaks outside the point on Maverick's days. Some surf the little reefs along the cliffs on the south side of the point.
