Pedro Point surf guide

Pedro Point is located at the south end of Linda Mar and is known for its fun waves. This spot breaks along the Boatdock and onto the beach, attracting surfers looking for a good session. The main event is a solid left that breaks off Little Pedro Point, mostly working in the winter. It's one of the bigger rideable waves on the North Central California coast, making it a decent spot to check out during the season.

The surf here can get pretty gnarly, especially during winter months (December to February). It handles swell sizes ranging from 3ft to 8ft (0.9m to 2.4m) and can occasionally go beyond that during bigger swells. The best time to surf is at high tide, ideally when the swell direction is coming from the Northwest, although it can also work with West and North swells. On a good day, the waves can be fun for expert surfers using shortboards or guns. The preferred wind direction is Southeast, which helps keep the conditions smoother for riding. Just keep in mind that paddling can be a bit stronger on those bigger days.

Access to Pedro Point is limited, with not much parking available. It can get crowded when the waves are firing, but the local vibe is generally chill, especially on the big left. Be polite and respectful while you're there, and keep an eye on the conditions, as they can change quickly. Overall, it’s a spot worth checking, especially for those looking to ride some bigger waves.
