Terramar Reef and Surf
The
Reef:
There is a subtle reef
located at Terramar which consists of large rocks, plants
and sand. It's nothing to be feared but can easily take a
fin off your board at low time. Under the main peak, there
are a series of rocks that on an extremely low tide can be a
tad scary as they aren't far underneath the surface.

Terramar
Be safe an take caution
around shallow areas and be sure to have an idea of what is
going on with the surf and tides. Knowing your surroundings
will assist to a good surf session and a safe one at that!
The
Surf:
Best
Tide: Medium to High tides are best for Terramar but
Low tides can lead to some fast walls and fun sections.
Best
Swell Directing: West and Northwest swells but during
the Summer months, a clean Southwest swell can lead to some
awesome waves at Terramar
Best
Winds: No wind is best but if any, a East wind will do
wonders.
Best
Size: Anywhere from 2 - 8 feet.
Best
Months to Catch it Going Off: September through April
are best best but the Summer months can also provide some
fun waves.
A nice set rolling through
Terramar
Terramar is an awesome
wave that comes pealing into the beach with only a few
people enjoying it. The main peak is a subtle drop in with a
nice possible bottom turn. At lower tides, the drop can get
much steeper and be a fn challenge. Make sure to take
caution as there are a few rocks underneath the main peak
and at low tides, they can get pretty close.
A decent right rolling
along
The inside peak is my
personal favorite. On a clean and lined up swell this inside
section can turn into a skate park for surfing! It begins
with a long wall that provides lots of speed and ends with a
very playful shoulder that is awesome for turns. I've had
some awesome waves in this inside section and it's
definitely something to check out!
