Surf Abalone Cove

Abalone Cove - Rancho Palos Verdes Abalone Cove features a reef break with both right and left waves, primarily breaking on a direct south and W-WNW winter swell. The spot is accessible from Palos Verdes Drive South, with a short walk required from public parking. It works at all tides, although it typically offers smaller waves compared to other local spots. This picturesque surf location is known for its mellow vibe, though localism can be a factor, especially on bigger days. The main surf area, The Point, is complemented by Toilet Bowls, which offers a preferred right-hand peak, and another right-hander further west. The bottom varies, with some sandy sections at times. While the waves can be technical and less frequent, the experience is rewarding for those who respect the local scene and conditions. Be mindful of the rocky bottom and potential localism when planning your visit.
