Not a Big Break
Point Loma is a beautiful coastline, and like all SoCal beaches has numerous surfers, but Sunset Cliffs is not a big wave area.
I am a recent Californian with no real surf experience, so I am not sure what draws large groups of people to sit on their boards in the cold waters of the Pacific Coast for hours one end, despite there being little opportunity to ride the waves.
There are other beaches and surf spots nearby (Ocean Beach, La Jolla, and Ralph's on the east side of the Point Loma tip) that are more notable for their big waves, and overall more favorable surf conditions. That said, it's hard to argue with wanting to take in the atmosphere around the coast, and these big bluffs, especially during the golden hour.
