Gaviota Coast Secret Spot

Postby billie_morini » Mon Nov 21, 2016 2:52 am

Here's a beautiful photo from 17 November 2016. It's low tide and sun down at one of billie's secret spots. Prior to sun down, there were wonderful small, peeling waves at low tide. billie and Roxy Ridgeback shared this secret surf spot with Surfing Forum member, hyber, whom is on a SoCAL surfing safari. Prior to joining billie, hyber had some epic days at Trestles and Rincon. billie and Roxy appreciate that hyber appreciates beautiful, pristine surf breaks, too. But, none of us will reveal this break's location.

Not a soul in sight, I love it! :D
Make sure to bury people who discover the spot behind the rocks, no one can ever know your secret! :lol:

Here's one of Billie's "not so secret" spots...although I'm sure he goes when it's bigger. FYI, I just got Magic Seaweed to add it to their NorCal list. http://magicseaweed.com/Caspar-Beach-Surf-Report/4630/

It was warm we we started out today. Roxy found a cool cave and hung out inside it for a while to beat the strong sunshine.
