Fontana is a surf spot located in a small bay that can be pretty appealing when the conditions align. It's a scenic area that offers a unique vibe, mainly attracting surfers looking for a less crowded experience. The spot really starts to shine when there's a decent NW swell, making it a go-to for those in the know.

This spot works best with a Northwest swell direction, but it can also handle swells coming from the North. When the waves are breaking, they typically reach about 4 feet (1.2 meters) and roll over uneven reef. The waves break to the right, which is cool for those who enjoy right-handers. Winds from the Southeast are ideal, while a low to mid tide height gives you the best chance for fun and rideable conditions. It’s a good spot for intermediate surfers looking to improve their skills.

Fontana's consistency can be a bit hit or miss, so it's good to check the conditions before heading out. The environment usually needs E or SE winds to really get going. Make sure to keep an eye on the swell and tide charts to catch it at its best.
