Ha…just happened to notice the Surfline ‘spot guide’ at the bottom of the page…hadn’t looked at it before so I looked at a couple of spots.

Here’s my local spot that I go to…super easy:
Hazards
Like nursery school compared to what’s going on out at Maverick’s.

Linda Mar (also called Taco Bell beach) - always crowded, often windy and foggy
Hazards
Crummy weather, crowds, possible pounding on big days.

And down the highway 15 miles near Pescadero
Hazards
Loneliness, sharks, drowning with no witnesses.
