Located in Palos Verdes, Los Angles County, Southern California, Haggerty’s is a fun point/reef break that rolls over a boulder covered bottom. The waves here can be a bit challenging, and break for up to 150 meters, providing opportunities for turns, hacks, and carves. There are three distinct take-off spots here, the main peak being the middle one.
