Description

Natural Bridges - Santa Cruz Natural Bridges features a right-hand reef break over flat rocks with sand, delivering hollow, fast, and powerful waves. This spot works at all tides and is best during winter swells, particularly from the NorthWest and West. Access involves a short walk (5-15 minutes) from parking areas, with potential hazards including urchins and rocks. Located in Santa Cruz, Natural Bridges is renowned for its challenging surf conditions, attracting experienced surfers. The spot is particularly favorable during winter, when larger swells and lower tides create optimal wave conditions. While the main peak can be crowded on weekends, weekdays often see fewer surfers. The local vibe is strong, and newcomers should be prepared for a competitive atmosphere. With its unique wave characteristics and scenic backdrop, Natural Bridges offers an exhilarating surf experience for those ready to tackle its powerful breaks.
