Sumner Avenue Surf Guide
Sumner Avenue and nearby breaks offer fun, lined-up surf on most small- to medium-size swells. A nice, out-of-the-way spot with no parking meters or beach tags, it's primarily a fun summer-longboarding break. Waves are not very powerful. Surfing is allowed all day in the summer. It can be clogged with logs on a small summer swell and empty in the off-season.
