Description

Gale Point - Shelter Cove, California Gale Point features a right-hand point break over a boulder bottom, delivering hollow and fast waves. Access requires a good walk of approximately 30 minutes from the Shelter Cove boat ramp, including a paddle around Point No Pass. This surf spot is characterized by its rocky environment and a horseshoe-shaped boulder reef, which can present challenges for surfers. Localism is prevalent, creating a competitive atmosphere in the water. Caution is advised due to potential hazards such as urchins, rips, and sharks. Surfers should be comfortable navigating rocky reefs and respect local etiquette to ensure a safer experience.
