Pools is a beginner-friendly beach break on Rincon's NNW-facing coast, picking up NW winter swells that wrap around the peninsula. The sandy bottom and relatively mellow conditions make it a good learning spot when bigger reef breaks in the area are firing. ESE trade winds blow offshore, keeping the faces clean.
