Description Suggest change

The Wave is a beautiful fin of ocean-molded sandstone right at the edge of the Pacific.

It resembles, well, a wave! Look for the ~15-20ft sharp arete with gorgeous (but brittle!) honeycomb features over on the other side of the largest rock formation at Secrets.

Note: This route is very tide dependent! Approach only at low tide or at low-ish tide with small swells.

Waves will be crashing next to you the whole time regardless.

Getting There Suggest change

The Wave is located directly on the other side of the largest boulder you see when you approach the Secrets area. It's right next to the ocean.
