Know the spot

The softer inner Pitas wall, a logger-friendly continuation of the point when the outside is too demanding.

Break type: Point
Wave direction: Right
Reported difficulty: Intermediate; longboard-friendly
Bottom: Cobble & sand
Reported swell preference: W–WNW

Before paddling out: Cobbles, crowd, current, highway-side access and rocks near the point.
