Seaforth Left Point Surf Guide
A cobblestone shelf-rock left point with the length of the more famous point at Rincon. A fickle setup, it requires an odd mix of swell and wind. When it is on, it breaks really heavy off the top, leading into a fat cutback section before winding quickly through the middle, then another cutback section, then a pedal-to-the-metal race down into the beachbreak cove. One of the area's more challenging waves, it's good it's really good.
