The plaque says, "The Notorious Wave
Back in the day, if you dared, you grabbed your board and headed for Killer Dana. The wave was known as Dana Cove when the weather was calm - but when the surf was over 10 feet, Killer Dana's thick, right-breaking curl earned its nickname
Dana Point Harbor
The 1966 construction of sea walls to protect Dana Point Harbor quelled the notorious wave. Surfers mourned Killer Dana's demise, but its neam and reputation live on.
Down Doheny Way
Harbor construction spared Dana Point's other famous surf destination, Doheny. Called Doho in local slang, Doheny has four surf breaks (Boneyards, Reef, Second Spot, and Rivermouth), a reference in iconic Beach Boy songs, and nearly a century of surfing history in its waters."
