Leo Carillo

Surf Guide

An unmistakable righthander just a half-mile south of the county line, where PCH dips down near a scenic cove fringed with large rocks, on most days, the wave also known as Secos peaks up near the big rock outside, then reforms into a spunky inside section. The problem here is the confined takeoff area: it supports about six people. Leo Carrillo is best on a medium tide, with S or SW swells up to double-overhead. There are a series of rock reefs outside that will hold a big W or NW and push the takeoff zone north and outside of the rock, making it set up more like a point. On the biggest swells, there is another point farther north called Primo's.
