Mysteries

Mysteries

Mixed reef and sand between Anchor Point and Killer Point. It breaks rarely, and the take-off is one of the most technical on the coast.

Mysteries sits between Anchor Point and Killer Point, over mixed reef and sand. It is the inconsistent one on this stretch: it does not break often, and that is most of its reputation.

A right with slabby sections and one of the most technical take-offs in the area, best around high tide on a northwest swell with a northeasterly offshore. In January, clean 62% of the time, blown out 25%, too small 13%.

When it is working it can get crowded, which on a wave this rare is not surprising. Rocks are the named hazard, and the take-off is why this sheet files it for advanced surfers and up.
