Killers

Surf Guide

Visible from the lineup at Anchor Point or from the dirt lot above Mysteries, Killers is the distant break at the top of the headland. It's said that it is named for the occasional sightings of Killer Whales in the area, but the wave itself is worthy of the name. It is a long, powerful right point that can handle the biggest swells, and can be more challenging than Anchor Points more groomed lines. You can check it from the road up on the hill, or watch it in the distance from the Mysteries lot. A long paddle from the sharp, rocky beach to the lineup keeps the crowds down, and on big swells it can be a chore to get out there. Better surfers and more serious ones will make the paddle to avoid the crowds at Anchor's and to challenge themselves in the bomb sets. On a good day barrels can be had in the big, shifty line up, with long walls and rippable sections. If it's pumping, drink a lot of water before you paddle out, as you'll be out there all day and won't want to come in. It's a great wave that'll challenge the best of surfers.
