Description

Santa Clause - California Santa Clause features a beach break with both right and left waves, characterized by a sandy bottom. The wave is generally weak and rarely reaches optimal conditions, making it suitable for beginners and families. It works best at mid and high tide with swells coming from the Northwest, Southwest, and South. This spot is easily accessible with ample parking along Padaro Lane, just a short walk from the beach. While it serves as an excellent family beach, surfers should be cautious of surf schools operating in the area, particularly those run by Chris Keet, as they can create congestion in the water. Despite its limitations, Santa Clause can provide fun waves during small swells, making it a good option for those looking to practice their skills in a less intense environment.
