🌊

The Wave

Best surf comes on southwest-west groundswells with east-to-ENE offshore winds.

Mid-to-high tides tend to smooth and close the peaks while lower tides speed them up.

🏄

Lineup Guide

A sandbar that builds at the creek mouth plus steep bluffs drives shifting peaks and a shallow channel - expect changing peaks day-to-day and occasional stronger currents near the creek.

Crowds are generally light compared with nearby Half Moon Bay but local peaks draw quick turnouts on clean summer groundswell days.
