Beer Can Beach is a small surf spot that can be found by taking Via Palo Road from Clubhouse Drive. It’s a beach break, meaning it’s got sand on the bottom, and it’s a place where you can catch some waves during certain conditions. The beach tends to get pretty crowded in the summertime, so if you're looking for some space to paddle out, consider timing your visit on a weekday or during off-peak hours.
The surf here is decent with small beach break peaks that generally work best during small, clean, peaky winter swells. The optimal swell direction is from the southwest, though you can catch waves coming in from the south and occasionally the northwest. This spot handles swell sizes around 2 feet (about 0.6 meters) and offers both left and right breaking waves. The best conditions typically happen during mid to high tide, especially with a northeast wind blowing, which helps keep things nice and tidy for the surfers.
This beach is great for intermediate surfers looking to improve their skills. While there can be some fun days, keep in mind that not every session will be epic. It's a solid spot for some casual surfing, but don’t come expecting big waves. Just check the conditions before heading out, and you might find some enjoyable rides.
