This spot is located just N around the point from Ano Nuevo (Santa Cruz county's last spot) and is officially in San Mateo County. Look for big lighthouse- you can't miss it. The most 'alluring' waves break on the south side of the lighthouse in the cove. There are a series of funky reefs that I only call 'alluring' because they are almost always offshore. Sometimes the right-hander towards the rock stacks on the north side of the bay can be good on a big south swell and higher tide. Other reefs in the middle of the bay- while rideable- are pretty much junk surf. Once in a blue moon you'll find a decent wave here. There's a beachbreak on the north side of the lighthouse that can be fun on south swells... but this whole area is shark territory and I don't recommend it!
