HEADS UP

Bring a wetsuit vest or a spring suit.  With the strong wind the water temp can change and it sometimes drops down to the upper 60's, so a vest might be needed on these days.

If you have any interest in fishing, bring some basic gear.  You won't be sorry... the fishing is really good.

Make sure to bring a good pair of fins if you like to bodysurf.  Some of the heavier beach breaks are great for bodysurfing.

Don't forget a windbreaker or rain jacket for the boat ride.  Sometimes there are heavy rain squalls and it can get brisk on the ride home after surfing all day.
