Located in Humboldt County, California, Little River State Beach is an alright beach break that offers up some decent sections when the conditions line up. The waves here are pretty easy to surf and break for up to 50 meters over a sand bottom. If it is good here it is better elsewhere.

Gets good between waist-high to head-high. We recommend riding a longboard here when smaller and a shortboard as the size picks up. This break is suitable for all levels of surfer. The surf here is not the most consistent (4/10) and will generally be uncrowded (3/10). The best winds are from the East. The best swells are from the Northwest. Works on a high tide.
We recommend wearing a 5/4 here year-round. Water temperatures range between 9 and 13 degrees. See the temperature chart below for more data on this.
