Mike says about

> 4. Little or no shore break
Luigi says
Actually, I disagree with that. The bottom slopes down faster than at
Waddell. The waves look small but tend to break rather hard.
Mike says:
I think you must be talking about the shore break at the launch site at
Limantour. There I would agree with you the break is hard and the bottom
drops off fast
But 2 miles upwind at Tubamancha most of the surfs energy is absorbed on the
bars and the shore break is tiny also in places you can stand on the bottom a
hundred yards from shore at Tuba. It has a very shallow bottom profile that
is why the surf breaks so far from shore.
