About this breakpoint · rock · faces SSE

Point break at Sequit Point. The NOAA shoreline shows the rocky point with a small bight to its east, so swell wraps around the point and peels east into the bight, which makes it a right-hander. State Parks lists reefs, tide pools and sea caves here. Avoid the water for 72 hours after rain (LA County Public Health).
