Description

Ab (Abalone) - Point Loma, California Ab is a left-breaking reef wave characterized by a rocky bottom, offering ordinary power. The spot works best at low and mid tide, particularly with a rising tide. Access is via a 15-30 minute walk from the Point Loma Nazarene College dorm parking lot, with public access available. This surf spot is known for its scenic atmosphere and laid-back vibe, although it can become ultra crowded, especially on weekends. While the waves can be fun, they may lack consistency, and surfers should be cautious of the sharp rocks and localism. The take-off zones vary with swell and tide, making it essential to know your line-ups. Despite the challenges, experienced surfers can enjoy hitting the lip multiple times on good days. Be prepared for a mix of skill levels in the water, as the crowd can include both locals and newcomers.
