A broad section of excellent and consistent beachbreak that's particularly popular due to the convenient parking lot. The surf can be good (or at least fun) here when the Santa Cruz town spots are flat. Peaks and channels, some current and shorepound action. Typically closes out at a few feet overhead. Medium to high tide with no wind on a peaky, broken-up swell are the primo conditions. Big swell window.
Pay to park; full facilities available.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
