Located in Humboldt County, California, Camel Rock is a fun beach break that offers up some rippable waves when the conditions line up. The waves here are not always easy to surf and break for up to 100 meters over a rock and sand bottom. There can be a very long and high-performance righthander if the sand and swells line up as well as an inside left barrel. More often than not though, it is a mushier sectiony beach break.
