Description
Little Waimea - San Diego, California
Little Waimea features powerful, hollow waves breaking over a rocky reef, predominantly offering clean rights with occasional lefts. This spot is best accessed by boat, with a short walk (5-15 minutes) from the drop-off point. It only works at high tide, particularly during rising tide conditions, and is known for its emptiness during the week.
This surf break is located south of the lighthouse reef and is ideal for experienced surfers due to its challenging conditions, including rips and sharp rocks. The atmosphere is serious, requiring respect for the waves, especially when jet-skiers are present. The spot is best surfed when the swell is significant, with rights reaching up to 4.5 meters. Surfers should be cautious of the dangers posed by the rocky bottom and potential man-made hazards. Overall, Little Waimea offers an exhilarating experience for those willing to navigate its challenges.
