Description

Capitola Jetty - Capitola, California Capitola Jetty features fun right and left breaking waves over a flat rocky bottom, ideal for longboarders and beginners. The spot works best at mid tide with rising and falling tides, and is most favorable with swells from the west, southwest, and south. Wind from the north and northwest typically provides optimal conditions. Located in the Santa Cruz area, Capitola Rivermouth is a popular destination, especially during summer and autumn. The beach offers easy access and a friendly atmosphere, though it can become crowded on weekends. While the waves are not the most powerful, they are perfect for practicing skills on funboards and longboards. Be cautious of rips, undertows, and rocks, and remember to maintain surf etiquette amidst the social crowd. Parking can be challenging, so consider using public lots or meters nearby, especially on busy days.
