Mondos is the relief valve among the nearby points: less power, more room and useful longboard shoulders when other spots are too serious.
Before paddling out: Roadside parking, rocks under some peaks, learners, shorebreak and traffic.

THE FIELD GUIDE / Mondos
Read this stretch of coast.
Follow the swell window
The catalogue’s reported preference for Mondos is “SW–W”. Compare that description with each component’s incoming direction and period. An offshore swell number is a reference; the local wave still depends on the actual shoreline, bottom and tide.
Check the water level
Reported tide preference: Mid–high. Follow the named NOAA station and its trend through your intended session, then inspect the entry and exit at the beach. A station prediction is not a water-level sensor at this takeoff.
Read the bottom and the lineup
Catalogue bottom: Sand, cobble & scattered reef. Reported difficulty: Beginner–intermediate. Watch several sets before choosing where to enter, keep clear of riders, and compare the actual wave with your ability and equipment.
A useful note for next time
Record the section you actually surfed, the time, incoming swell direction and period, wind and tide trend. Add what the wave did: connected sections, closeouts, drift or exposed obstacles. Comparing that observation with the same model next time is more useful than treating one colored number as the whole session.
Camera references nearby
