Regional Surf Guides
local knowledge, by region
Santa Cruz Guide
Steamer Lane when a NW fills in. Pleasure Point for glass, Davenport for size.
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.
Northern California
Cold water, big power. Mavericks looms; Ocean Beach eats boards and beginners.
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.
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.
