Sunset State Beach surf guide

Surf: Very similar to Manresa but far less crowded, a little more easily blown out, and stronger currents and rips on bigger swells. Miles of empty beach leading south to the Pajaro River, which marks the county line. Potential for empty, superb waves, especially with morning offshore winds. Environment: Access is intermittent south of Sunset. The submarine canyon that slices the bay invites the odd larger fish. Camping is available.
