Mid tide
The most famous longboard wave in the world: a perfectly tapering cobble point that peels for hundreds of metres with machine-like regularity. Gidget, the birth of surf culture and every longboard contest on the planet orbit this wave. Packed with surfers from dawn to dusk; the waves are as good as the cliché.
