What the Cornice Produces

What the specific California point break configuration produces and why it matters

The Configuration

The California point break configuration -- the specific combination of the headland that refracts the incoming swell into the curved shape that peels along the point for hundreds of meters, the kelp bed that smooths the surface chop that would otherwise disrupt the wave face, and the specific swell direction that activates the point break geometry -- is the specific oceanographic phenomenon that produces the waves at Malibu, Rincon, Steamer Lane, and the other California point breaks whose conditions define the California surf experience.

The Wave

The wave that the point break produces: the long, peeling wave that allows the surfer to set up the specific cross-wave trajectory that the stylistic manoeuvres of California surfing require -- the cross-stepping on the longboard, the trim line on the log, the specific arc of the shortboard turn -- is the wave form that the California surfing tradition has been built on and that the beach break cannot replicate.

Surf LA Coverage

Surfing LA covers the California point break because the accountability journalism of the California surf experience requires examining the specific wave-producing geography that defines the experience that California surfing is built on.
