The wave
La Source is a reef break between Killer Point and Mysteries, next to a freshwater spring that runs down the cliff. It has a right and a left peak, and is best on a rising tide towards high.
It's smaller and easier than the points around it and usually has far fewer people. A good option when Anchor Point is crowded and the swell isn't too big.
