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.
Local Vibe
Mellow.
Crowd Factor
The most popular game in town.
Spot Rating
Usually sectiony but can get pretty good on occasion.
Shoulder Burn
Average.
Water Quality

Sneaky submerged rocks, kelp, tar in your toes and on your board and wetsuit.

Park somewhere along Camino Majorca.
Bottom
Rock.
Best Season
October-February.
