General Overview

World renown surf spot and host of the only WCT event on the US mainland. The level of surfing at Trestles is solid, so beware if there are crowds and you are not exactly at 'CT status. Lowers can be the perfect example of an A frame wave with a small takeoff zone and someone always waiting in line or for you to wipe out so they can catch one of the fabled left or rights.
