Description
Drakes Bay - Point Reyes National Seashore
Drakes Bay features a sandbar wave that breaks both right and left over a sandy bottom. The spot is known for its ordinary power and works best at low and mid tide. Access requires a long walk of over 30 minutes from Point Reyes, situated within the scenic Pt. Reyes National Seashore.
This surf spot is ideal for summer and late spring when conditions are optimal, attracting surfers seeking fun sessions. The seasonal sandbar at the mouth of Drakes Estero can provide memorable rides, but caution is advised due to the presence of sharks in the area. Despite the long trek to the lineup, the beautiful surroundings and the potential for decent waves make Drakes Bay a unique destination for adventurous surfers willing to put in the effort.
