Moved down to PVB last year from AB/Poles. The kook level at Micklers is off the charts. I mean I haven't surfed since I moved but....
. Maybe I should get on that.
My office got moved down by there for a few years, right by ATP Tour Blvd.
I fucking hated having to drive down there. If I left home after 720am or left work before 615pm A1A was fkn torture.
The surf was pretty fickle too. I drive down there when it's a higher tide and it's too shallow on the inside sand ledge away from the Pier - I'd generally rather get toothy head from a bear trap than surf the Pier. North SJC definitely gets fun especially on a chest high 8-10 sec period with some South and a mid-high tide.
Of late I cruise the extra 5 to North Guana. That part of A1A is ideal for a pre-bake and I've really only ever had one interpersonal annoyance at a Guana. Just having working ears in the Mickler's lot, if it's a Sat/Sun you will overhear like three different Karens just murdering your buzz with every word.
I had one small mid-period lunch session down there that was zen mode. Little ENE walls hitting the sandbar and feeling the angled runout cut. I must have caught like three dozen perfect little lefts in an hour and a half.
