Located in San Mateo County, California, Gazos Creek is a fun beach break that offers up some A-frame peaks when the conditions line up. The waves here are pretty easy to surf and break for up to 100 meters over a sand and rock bottom. Don’t expect to get it good, doesn’t happen often. It’s very common to see fins in the water, this spot is notorious and most will not surf alone here.
