Cabrillo Point is a rocky point break that wraps around a prominent headland in the Palos Verdes Peninsula area, offering multiple peaks and directions depending on swell angle. The break benefits from southern hemisphere swells in fall and winter, with the point's northeastern exposure allowing it to pick up consistent waves while the rocky point structure creates peeling, shapeable sections. The rocky bottom provides excellent wave shape and offers protection from larger swells compared to nearby beach breaks, making it a quality intermediate-friendly option when conditions align.
