The Monterey Bay and Peninsula regions are rich with surf spots with high quality surf and few crowds year round. Unlike the Santa Cruz area to the north, the Monterey Bay and Peninsula has such a variety and high number of surf sports, surfers will find that the crowds are not as often an issue here. All year round this region has breaks that will perform well with a variety of swell directions, making it a treasure trove for any waterman.
