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.
This website was built to provide a guide to surf locations in Monterey Bay,
Peninsula, and Carmel. It features seasonal conditions, wave sizes, break types,
difficulties/hazards, regional “need to know” tips, and links to websites with
pertinent info. I hope you find this site a useful guide for exploring this
area’s top surf spots. See you in the water!
