Surf Cottons

Cottons - Trestles, California Cottons is a point break featuring both right and left waves over a sandy bottom, offering ordinary power. The spot is located at 33.3907° N latitude and -117.5986° W longitude. Access involves a good walk (15-30 minutes) along the trail from Uppers, with public access available. The wave works best during mid tide with rising tide conditions and is optimal with southwesterly swells. Cottons Point is renowned for its long, often fat lefts that break further out than nearby spots. The best surfing conditions occur from March to October, although it can be surfed year-round. This spot attracts a mellow crowd, but expect it to be crowded on weekends, particularly with longboarders. For those seeking to escape the busier Uppers and Lowers, Cottons provides a more relaxed atmosphere, but be prepared to share the waves with fellow surfers.
