Little Point in San Diego County is an exposed reef and point break that has reasonably consistent surf. Summer offers the best conditions for surfing. Ideal winds are from the east. Tends to receive distant groundswells and the best swell direction is from the southwest. A reef breaks left and in addition, there is also a left hand point break. Best around high tide when the tide is rising. It's often crowded here. Take care of rips and rocks.
