Creepiest surf spots

Barbers Point right next to the luau spot. Homeless, smeltery(?) going full force, horrible stench in the air, just desolation. Waves were about chest high or so and breaking around the point and out to sea. No one in water. Sharky vibe. Combined with everything, man, just creepy and did not paddle out. So I guess you could say that's a creepy from land spot. So much so, just bailed the entire area even though we were actually looking for another spot in the area, which I probably shouldn't name (err on side of caution).
The beachbreak/rivermouth right point around the corner from Tivives in Costa Rica. Waves were good. Did paddle out. Water so murky, couldn't even see my knees. Horrible vibes to the point it was making me nauseous. After a handful of waves, paddled in. As did my friend, who had same vibes. I have zero doubt there were things beneath circling me that I would rather not. Talking to locals later, apparently quite a sharky spot. Oops.

Yep -- spook factor 12. Took a long right, was in blue water no man's land wondering when I was gonna get hit. Whole NS is kinda shark-vibey IMO
There’s a mediocre spot in Gaviota where you might find some dudes sucking each other’s dicks.
That can be pretty creepy.

Agreed. Surfed / stayed in and around the Port Arthur area for a few weeks and it felt like something out of a Jules Verne novel. Except with the heaviness of a hardcore remote prison and the massacre that took place, ironically, 20 years ago today.
I walked solo from the hotel to the historical site one night at sunset and got caught by nightfall.
Walked back about a mile in the dark - no flashlight - through the woods and along the shore across from the Isle of the Dead.
I was fully stoked and spooked. Van Diemen's land is awesome.
Been surfing there a lot lately, I lived in Kaaawa for years. I've seen so much crazy sh!t out there. Few weeks ago it was a massive bait ball being tagged by a couple of reef sharks 50 yards outside the lineup. No one went in.
I paddled out to surf this peak in Invernesse out on Pt. Reyes when we were visiting my wife's family once. When I came in a local fisherman said "I figured I'd be reading about you in the news."
Can you pm me directions? Asking for a friend
In the 70's, POP after the burns and the roller coaster collapsed into the water. Lost a board in that mess, didn't bother trying to go in after it.
Boat House VAFB, surfed it once, caught 2 waves and high-tailed back to the boat. Way too sharkey for my likes.

^^^^ Greyhound Rock. Dark water. Bull Kelp. Big boils and Elepahant seals. Just me and two buds out. Creeped me out big time.
Big Sur. Never surfed it. But, the whole place was creepy when you looked at the ocean. Just had the feeling that there were big tax collectors in the water. No one around for miles and no cell service. No thanks.
I miss the place quite a bit.Agreed. Surfed / stayed in and around the Port Arthur area for a few weeks and it felt like something out of a Jules Verne novel. Except with the heaviness of a hardcore remote prison and the massacre that took place, ironically, 20 years ago today.

A spooky story I had heard was a wave not to far from port Arthur that turns into a submerged island as the tide rises. It’s walkable at low tide but requires paddling at the higher tides. A few surfers apparently got stranded on the submerged island as a white shark was circling them and the tide still rising leaving them nowhere to go. I can’t remember if it eventually left or if they had to wait for the tide to drop.
Salmon Creek, Sonoma County gives me the heebies a bit
Scott's Creek, Santa Cruz, where I actually had a large white come straight at us, very fast
Couple of reefs around here if I find myself out alone
Overall, all the sightings and encounters the past few years around here have made me pretty jaded on the shark thing.

Salinas River Mouth sketched me out the few times I surfed there and the shore pound in front of the old Ft. Ord O-Club that tries to kill you when you try to get out of the water used to freak me out. Pomponio St. Bch. always sketched me out as well. Voodoo Bay or whatever they call the right north of the Armaria river mouth after a big rain was always scary too.
That's only because you know Leaverite is watching but u aren't sure who he is
surf beach, waddell creek, waddell reefs, greyhound rock, laguna creek, scott creek when its big. I lived in SC for a while and would spend a lot of time surfing N of town either solo or with one friend. Waddell reefs always freaked me out. When you're sitting on the outside corner you can just tell the reef drops off almost instantly right past where you're sitting. Super fun wave though. Surf Beach also freaked me the fugg out. Felt like food out there.
And Tunnels on Kauai. Big reef drop offs out there.

Big Zuma freaked me out after a girl broke her kneck and paralized herself there
