Privates beach- Santa Cruz

[surfinggrrrl]

Has anyone ever surfed Privates in Santa Cruz? I am looking for a good longboard wave, that's not too crowded. I would like to try this spot but I don't know anyone with a gate pass. Looking for a guest to join you? Anyone looking to sell their key? Keys don't go on sale again till June. Any opinions on this wave/crowds?

Thanks
Tomboy

I've never been but the Santa Cruz Sentinel reports that anyone can pay $5 for a one day access pass. The Coastal Commission may rule for free public access.

The break is near Pleasure Point and looks fun!

Thanks for the update. Unfortunately the OP hasn't been here for 5 years. But good info for anyone else

Privates in Santa Cruz is a cool longboard wave, but crowded and locked up. Need key to surf. To get guest access, check online. Be cool with the locals and the rules.
