Forecast
As of:
Cottons prefers strong S-SW groundswell with clean NE offshore.
Rocky cobbles and an exposed shore dump near the inside make late-stage sections hazardous and favour competent positioning.
Crowding is lighter than Lowers but increases quickly on big south swells.
It tends to show best on lower tides when the peak pulls up over the outer cobble/reef.
Access is a walk north from Trestles or south from San Clemente State Park - plan for a bit of a trek and variable sand placement.
