What are the best surf conditions for Marina State Beach?
Gets good between chest high and double overhead. We recommend riding a longboard here when smaller and a shortboard as the size picks up. This break is best for intermediates and advanced surfers when on. The surf here is not the most consistent (4/10) and will be uncrowded (3/10). The best winds are from the Southeast. The best swells are from the Northwest. Works best on a mid to high tide.
We recommend wearing a 4/3 year-round here. Water temperatures range between 12 and 15 year-round. See the temperature chart below for more data on this.
