Description

Donuts - Point Loma, San Diego Donuts features a left-breaking reef wave characterized by a powerful and hollow nature, ideal during mid-tide with a rising tide and southwest swell. Access is exclusively by boat, requiring caution due to strong currents and potential anchor failures. The bottom consists of sharp coral and rocks, making it essential to be aware of the dangers present. This spot offers a fun atmosphere, but can quickly become crowded, especially on weekends. Surfers are advised to come alone or with one friend, as more than three surfers per boat can lead to issues. The wave can be challenging, with the risk of getting caught inside and facing shallow waters near the cliffs. Localism and pollution are concerns, so respect for the area and fellow surfers is crucial. Be prepared for a long walk and ensure you have the skills to navigate the conditions safely.
