Carmel beach sand is super nice...shame the beach break doesn't hold much size.
Oh boo fucking hoo my heart bleeds. What would be among the best nearshore tube galleries in any East Coast zone, in a setting 100x as beautiful as every spot from the Hamptons to South Padre combined, doesn't hold size.
People between SF and Big Sur are lacking in beachbreaks that hold size the same way people who work in landfills are lacking the opportunity to smell garbage on the job.
The problem is it doesn't hold a crowd the times I've seen it working, which have always been after school or on the weekend. More mouths than morsels. I got the distinct impression everyone on a corner knew everyone else on it, they don't know me, and I'd get marked someplace the parking lot isn't festooned with do-gooders and come back to vehicular vandalism.
The Hill plus the Santa Monica mountains minus the refinery, the freighter, and the surfing fluid petrochemical solution (most flammable body of "water" this side of the Cuyahoga River) make El Potty about as scenic as any undeveloped barrier island dune spot South of New England. The sand at Carmel is on a par with the Gulf's best sugar, or the most vivid orange (very coarse) hues you can get between PV and Ormond in North Florida, and that might be the least spectacular thing about the place itself.
As an aside if you notice, the only South Bay people who post in the wetsuit thread are from Redondo, because everybody else surfs Potty so much it's like surfing in tubeless tire juice - the sh!t seals itself just as fast as it starts leaking.
Probably great for furniture and other items as well
Yeah 80s/90s Ferraris with H-pattern gearboxes instead of F1 double clutch wizardy and, since the Elongation of Twitter, Teslas.
