Description

Cabrillo Point - San Pedro Cabrillo Point is a right-hand point break characterized by a boulder bottom and ordinary power. It works best at low and mid tide with swells from the west and southwest, particularly when they exceed 1.2 meters. The wave can be fast and fun, but surfers should be cautious of rocks and sudden boils. Located near the LA Outer Harbor, Cabrillo Point is accessible via Pacific Avenue, requiring a 15-30 minute walk down a cliff path. This spot is less crowded than others in the area, making it a great option for those seeking less competition. The best conditions occur with strong south swells, and while it can handle smaller waves, the ideal size is above 1.2 meters. Be prepared for localism and pollution concerns, and check the swell direction before heading out to maximize your experience.
