The Wave

When it works the spot prefers low to mid tides with longer-period southwest-west groundswells and clean conditions under east (offshore) winds.

Lineup Guide

Parking and access require a long drive through Humboldt Lagoons State Park and limited lot space, so expect few surfers but plan for a hike and tight parking.

Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
