The Fort surf guide

Surf: Around the corner from Mystos lies a creatively named break called The Fort (named after Fort Ross State Park), a rock-infested, grumpy lefthander, working best during big S swells and high tides. Gobs of boils, weird double-ups and freaky suck-outs at lower tides. Environment: A pretty spot, but we suggest you utilize your ā€˜beater board’ here, and don’t forget your booties.
