Russian Gulch to Caspar Beach
Pt Cabrillo weekend
3-18-2000
Part 2
|
Picture-postcard beautiful Pt. Cabrillo Lighthouse! |
| We approached the lighthouse and saw spray from larger waves rising above the clifftops. |  |
 |
As we paddled past the lighthouse and Point Cabrillo itself, the swell faces seemed to steepen with the top 1-2 feet of the wave threatening to break. A one-knot current drew us toward shore, where we could feel the ocean's power in the suction of the waves breaking over near-shore rocks. |
| We paddled into Caspar Beach along a deep
water channel at the middle of the inlet that lets you
avoid the large breaking waves on the sides and points. Caspar Beach is excellent for kayak surfing. |
