Surf spot guide
Dillon Beach Surf Guide
A beachbreak that has its days, Dillon is often walled and always smaller than nearby spots like Salmon Creek and Point Reyes. Plus, there are often funny currents due to the proximity of Tomales Bay. The place closes out over head-high, but can be a lot of fun at a smaller size.
Local Vibe
Not much, unless the surfer is a real jerk.
Crowd Factor
Very little, unless it's a hot, sunny weekend. Tourists have been known to clog the lineup here, but there's plenty of room for everyone.

Sharks.

July-November.
