Devereux Surf Guide
For higher consistency but lower quality, Devereux, aka Coal Oil Point, is another righthander on the opposite side of town that is a lot mushier and sectionier than Campus Point, but it does turn on occasionally and boasts a series of takeoff zones. The outer peak is a steep drop near some wash rocks, and it either sections off or holds up for a fast line through the inside.
