Visitor reviews of Coronado Beaches surf break

  Coronado is a beachbreak that pulls in some good swells. Unfortunately, it doesn't hold them well and you get many sections, sometimes a quarter mile in length, that produce nothing more than a big wall of closeouts as far as the eye can see. The good news for people who surf this break...if you can surf Coronado, you can surf anywhere!
