The crown jewel of Santa Cruz surfing and one of the most iconic cold-water waves in the world. A powerful right-hand point break that peels along the cliff below the Santa Cruz Surfing Museum at Lighthouse Point. Multiple take-off zones — from Indicators through Middle Peak to The Slot — offer rides up to 300 yards. Home to decades of competitive surfing history.
