surfing spots
Where surfers gather
Surfing spots are locations where waves break in ways suitable for riding—reefs, points, or beach breaks that produce consistent, rideable swells.
Surfers seek out spots with particular characteristics: Malibu is one of the most famous surfing spots in California.
The term often implies local knowledge about where and when conditions are best.
