More on Santa Cruz Harbor

Located in Santa Cruz, California, Santa Cruz Harbor is a wave that offers a good barrel that crashes over a sandbar formed directly in front of the Santa Cruz Harbor. The waves here can be heavy and break for up to 100 meters. Because the wave breaks across the harbor entrance it is illegal to surf here, you have been warned.

What are the best surf conditions for Santa Cruz Harbor?

Gets good between chest high and double overhead. We recommend riding a shortboard or step up here. This break is suitable for intermediate and advanced-level surfers. The surf here does not break very often (3/10) and will get busy when good (5/10). The best winds are from the Northeast. The best swells are from the West. Works on a low to mid-tide best.
