Description
26th Ave. - Santa Cruz, California
26th Ave. features a beach break with sandy and rocky bottoms, offering both right and left-hand waves. The spot is known for its powerful, hollow, and fun surf, particularly at low and mid tides. Conditions are best with northwest, west, or southwest swells and east to northeast winds.
Located on the east side of Santa Cruz, 26th Ave. is a laid-back surf destination that provides a refreshing alternative to the crowded point breaks nearby. The shifting sandbars create varied wave setups, making it a solid choice for surfers seeking less crowded lineups. Access is straightforward from East Cliff, with a parking lot available at the lagoon. However, expect local surfers to dominate the lineup when conditions are prime, especially during autumn and winter swells. Be mindful of potential hazards like rocks, localism, and pollution, particularly after heavy rains.
