More about North HB Streets surfspot
General: Find your rip bowl and enjoy. This is the northernmost stretch of HB before you make your way to the Cliffs, and it loves a combo swell and low tide. It is rideable here almost as much as the Pier, though not usually as shapely, and it packs a few feet more size on a long period WNW swell during the winter. But, as alluded to, is prone to large rips and plenty of current when the swell is pumping. Open corners are hard to come by unless there are a few different swells running, but it is fun to try and find them (if you like duck diving and finding a needle in a haystack). Catch it with a proper combo, drained low tide, and offshore Santa Ana winds, though, and you’ll think heaven really is a place on Earth. Tides: Medium Size: Shoulder-high to 3 feet overhead Wind: NE, Santa Anas Swell: Combo of swells SSE, S, SW with WSW, W, WNW Bottom: Sand Paddling: Pretty average most days, but can be brutal on a strong south or northwest swell with current. Spot Rating: Pretty typical beachbreak most days, can get exceptional on a good combo or tropical swell.
Beginner to advanced.
Free parking on side streets and meters.
January-December, but fall can be epic.
Crowd Factor: Spread out unless it is firing. Local Vibe: Mostly mild.
Not great after a rain, especially near the drainpipes.
Beginners on big boards, current, baby white sharks at the Huntington Flats.
