10th Street is a surf spot that offers a laid-back vibe, generally a bit smaller than the nearby Washout, making it less crowded. It typically serves up average beachbreak surf, but it can surprise you with some better-form waves that break more outside, providing longer rides on good days. The beach has a friendly feel to it, attracting surfers looking to catch some fun waves without the hustle and bustle often found at more popular spots.
The surf here can handle swell sizes from about 3 feet (0.9 meters) to 6 feet (1.8 meters), primarily working well with swells coming from the South, Southeast, and East-Southeast. The waves break over sand and can offer both right and left rides. Mid to high tides tend to be the best for this spot, and the ideal wind directions come from the West, Northwest, and North-Northwest. It's suitable for all levels of surfers, from beginners to experts, so don’t hesitate to paddle out no matter your skill level. Shortboards, funboards, longboards, fish, and SUPs are all welcome here, depending on the conditions.
Getting to 10th Street is pretty easy with plenty of parking available nearby. The crowd factor is generally lower than at the Washout, giving you a bit more space to enjoy your session. It’s a good spot for a quick surf, especially in the autumn season when conditions can be quite favorable.
