Goat Rock surf guide

Goat Rock is a surf spot located on the Northern California coast, known for its rugged beauty and unique shoreline. The area features a rock formation that was connected to the mainland in the 1920s, which has made it more accessible for surfers. The beach itself can get a mix of crowds, depending on the day, but it's generally not too hectic. The scenery is pretty nice, with natural surroundings adding to the experience.

When it comes to surfing at Goat Rock, you can find some decent peaks on the south side in the cove area. The waves tend to handle swells from both the south and the north, with a good size at around 2ft (0.6 meters). The beach breaks can serve up both left and right waves, making it suitable for different types of surfers. It's better to hit the water during low to mid tide when the swells are more peaky, and the north-east winds help keep things clean. While itโ€™s not the most impressive surf spot out there, it can be fun when conditions align.

The environment around Goat Rock is worth noting as well. The sandbars can create various wave shapes, which surfers might enjoy exploring. Remember, though, that itโ€™s not a guaranteed surf every time, but you may find some good moments if you're patient. Be prepared for cooler water, as a 5-mil wetsuit is usually a good call, especially if you're planning to spend longer periods in the water.
