Moss Landing Access |
| |
It's a marked state beach right off of Highway 1, just north of the Moss Landing harbor.
Alt. View...Not worth the drive. Santa Cruz has much more potential. |

Additional Surfing Infos |
| | The closer you get to the Jetty (this is at the end of the parking area), the smaller it is, and it is much easier to paddle out. As you move to the North, the waves build up considerably in size, with less places to make it out! This is the closest this area has to Puerto Escondito! It is not uncommon to see Hawaii quality tubes with waves spitting up and down the beach. Look for North swells with Long periods.

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
If you are new to the spot, it IS the BEST SURF SPOT IN CALIFORNIA. The problem is that it is also the most localized. Go figure, the small waves down by the Jetty are where the most hassles are! Go toward the dunes (5 to 10 min to the north of the Jetty), and you are more likely to get punished by the sneaking set waves (as it is usually 2 to 4 feet bigger that the jetty!) Again... Beginning to advanced surfers down at the Jetty; advanced surfers ONLY at the dunes . |

THIS IS THE BEST SPOT IN CALIFORNIA
picture was taken on the day Mark Foo died!
Alt View...Fun Beachbreak. Fickle, can get good, but on average it is poor to fair at best. Head to Santa Cruz to get better waves.
Alt View2: Park out of sight, don't let the locals see your car!!! Beware.....The Locals are assholes. Tread Lightly. By no means is this the best spot in California. The water is contaminated, the locals are dicks, there have been many shark sightings and the waves are usually shit and blown out. |

North Swell
Great NWN ground swell all day. Big surf, great rides. No wind in afternoon, which is rare for the Landing.
