Regional Surf Guides

local knowledge, by region

Featured

Northern California Guide

Cold water, big power. Mavericks looms; Ocean Beach eats boards and beginners.

Read the guide

Southern California

Dawn patrol points, summer south swells, and the grind of Lowers on a Tuesday.

San Diego

Reefs from Blacks to Big Rock. Fires on WNW groundswell; crowded when it's small.

Orange County

HB pier, Newport wedge, Trestles. Peaks year-round, offshore in the morning.

Puerto Rico

Rincon is the winter groundswell magnet. Aguadilla, Domes, Tres Palmas on a NW pulse.

Hawaii

North Shore November through February. Summer south swells wrap to Waikiki's walls.

Oregon

Heavy, cold, and uncrowded. Indian Beach for intermediates, Short Sands for the rest.

Santa Cruz

Steamer Lane when a NW fills in. Pleasure Point for glass, Davenport for size.

Ventura & Santa Barbara

Rincon lights up on a winter W. Jalama for the brave, C-Street for the rest.

Florida

Hurricane season is Christmas. Sebastian and New Smyrna when the Atlantic wakes up.

Outer Banks

Nor'easters turn the cape into barrels. S-turns sandbars shift every storm.

New Jersey

Manasquan to Cape May. Beach-break barrels when a NE hits and the banks line up.

Northern California — fun-size midweek.
