La Jolla Reefs is a mecca for barrel riders, but newcomers should beware. The spot is not for the faint of heart, as localism, powerful waves over shallow reefs, and strong ocean currents make it a challenging break.
Visiting surfers and beginners may struggle to catch waves here due to the tight-knit local surf community and the demanding conditions. For those willing to take on the challenge, it’s a dream come true; for others, it’s a spot to admire from a distance.
