Gazos Creek surf guide

Gazos Creek is a beach spot located along the stunning California coast. It features beautiful sand dunes, and while it may not see consistent surf, it has a unique charm that makes it worth a visit when the conditions line up. The area is relatively quiet, which can be a bonus for surfers looking to avoid crowded lineups.

When it comes to surfing, Gazos Creek works best with a peaky southwest swell and can accept swells coming from the south and northwest. The waves here break over sand, producing both left and right rides. The optimal swell size is around 2 ft. (0.6 m), and it generally handles well during high tide. It's a spot that's mostly good for intermediate surfers, as the waves can pack some punch when conditions are right. Morning wind conditions are ideal with a northeast breeze, making for cleaner waves.

The surf here is only really good a few times a month, mainly when the swell is small and clean. So, if you’re planning a trip, keep an eye on the forecast. Besides the surf, there’s free parking and restrooms available at the beach, which is a nice touch for those spending the day out in the surf.
