Here's a few of the local breaks in Humboldt County. These are some of the more popular local spots for you to enjoy. No secrets revealed here! For a complete list of published Humboldt surf breaks, you can view the Surf Report at the Humboldt Surf Company. Enjoy!





Patrick's Point - A left surfable from 2-20', best a couple of hours before high tide, but can be surfed at all tides. When it's big here, you better be good.

 


College Cove - Beach break lefts and rights. Good at about 3'. Best
on a large south swell at a medium tide. Long stairs to the beach. Also a clothing optional beach if you're easily offended. Good beginer spot.

 

Trinidad State Beach - North of the large rock. Rights and lefts. Rock and sand bottom. Sloppy when windy. Waves pop up fast so you better be quick on your feet. All tides.

 

 

Camel Rock - Also known as 6th Avenue. A good right with minus tides and south or west swell. Hollow and fast. Glassy or N/W wind the best. Long walk up and down the stairs to the beach. Beginners in the summer, intermediate to expert in winter. Can get to 15'+. Great White attack a few years ago.

 


Moonstone Beach
- Great beginners spot especially in the summer. Winter can be a tough paddle out. Rights and left. Can be great surfing if the sandbars are shifted just right and the swell and wind are in sync.


Bunkers - A left and right ridable when waves are too small for the North Jetty and the wind is southeast. Medium tide going out would b e the best with a clean southwest swell. Beginner to intermediate.

 

North Jetty - Hollow rights off a sandbar next to the jetty. Medium tide going out, with a southwest swell and southeast wind is usually the best. A left also, but hard to paddle back out. Popular spot with some local attitude. Not recommended for novices especially during the winter months.


Harbor Entrance -If you're not very good and not in good shape...forget it! Big breaks in winter, shallow, and dangerous. Barreling left an hour before low tide (a 0.0 to 2.0' tide) is best. Can easily be 15' plus. Beginners beware!
