Rincon

Rincon, one of the greatest breaks in California. Works best on a big westerly swell when all three areas that make up Rincon point connect.

The spot is made up of three different sections, the Indicator, the Rivermouth and the Cove. Each wave is slightly different and can perform differently depending on the prevailing wind and swell conditions.

The Indicator: right on the point, and the most exposed part of the break. Usually the wave here will fill out as it breaks towards the Cove but when the conditions are right the wave can be ridden all the way through the Rivermouth to the Cove down the point.

The River Mouth: best at low tide, easily reached from a paddle out from the river mouth channel making it usually the most crowded place to be.

The Cove: more suited to longboards, the wave is a little smaller here and would be great for beginnners if there were no crowds.

Due to how crowded the spot gets, beginners should stay clear, there are far better spots in the region for learning on.
