Description
Waddell Creek - California
Waddell Creek features a powerful beach break with both right and left waves over a sandy bottom. The spot is easily accessible right off the coastal highway, with public access available. Ideal conditions occur during mid to high tide, particularly on a rising tide, with optimal swell from the NorthWest, West, and SouthWest, complemented by favorable winds from the SouthEast, East, and NorthEast.
This popular surf destination attracts a mix of surfers, especially from Santa Cruz, thanks to its diverse wave types suitable for various skill levels. The beach stretches several hundred yards, with additional reefs near the rivermouth and at the north end. Ample parking enhances accessibility, but be cautious of rips and undertow, as well as the presence of sailboarders and kitesurfers when the wind is strong. Waddell Creek offers an industrial-strength surf experience set in a stunning natural environment, making it a must-visit for surf enthusiasts.
