Description

Redwood Creek - California Redwood Creek features a rivermouth wave that breaks both right and left over a boulder bottom. The wave is known for its hollow and fast characteristics, making it suitable for experienced surfers. It primarily works on negative low tide with north winds and is accessible by a long walk from Camel Rock. This remote surf spot is not for the faint-hearted, as it only operates 1-3 days a year, primarily under specific conditions. Surfers are advised to check local conditions at Safeway in nearby McKinleyville. Expect a long trek (over 30 minutes) to reach the waves, and be prepared for a crowded lineup, especially on weekends. Caution is advised due to potential dangers such as rips, rocks, and localism. Despite its challenges, Redwood Creek offers a unique surfing experience for those willing to make the journey.
