Dave; if you are going to try this one day from that beach you mentioned let me know if you want a wingman; I'd love to try this place!

I remember because I had just been down there for a walk with me kids and was thinking the same thing. The tide will need to be low as there are a lot of rocks near the beach but from looking at Jonathan's picture it could be sweet...

ShonanDB wrote:I sailed alone one day last Spring off Lighthouse Park on a SSE 18 - 20+ day and found that I could sail parallel to the beach and sailed over past the Marina to the Crystal Beach location but I didn't see anything setting up there. I didn't go all the way over to Lily Point as the Bluff was affecting the wind when I got close. I noticed some areas where large rollers were coming through and other areas where it was pretty flat. Once in a while a decent set would come through 90 degrees to the shore which I found strange at the time but it must have wrapped around the point and headed west. The biggest rollers I found that day were about chest high but they were on the west side of Lighthouse Park in the deep water. Out front of the Marina was interesting as there were some steep faces caused by the waves reflecting back off the man made pier set up to protect the Marina...

Looking at those pics that Dave just posted, especially #2, the point and surrounding area could be magical on a SE, S, NE, or SW day over 20 knots! I'm definitely keen to do whatever it takes to get in there when the conditions cooperate. Count me in..
