Break types, wave character, and ideal conditions for mellow log sessions.
Doran Beach inside Bodega Bay offers gentle beach break waves ideal for beginners. The outer reefs protect the bay from larger swells, so waves are usually small, but occasional NW swells can produce fun, rippable peaks.
Look for small sandbars along the beach; on bigger days, peaks form near the jetty.
High tide, light E winds, 2-4 ft NW swell
