Surf Emma Wood

Emma Wood - California Emma Wood features a beach break with both right and left waves, characterized by a sandy bottom and fun power. The spot is accessible via a dirt lot with free parking, providing instant access to the beach. Ideal conditions occur at mid tide with rising and falling tides, and it works best with swells from the Northwest, West, and Southwest. Located along the Pacific Coast Highway, Emma Wood can get crowded, especially in summer, but there are fun waves to be found away from the main peaks. The southern section, known as Mushpots, offers lefts that favor SW swells, while the northern section, J-Bowls, delivers rights best on NW swells. Despite the potential for crowds, exploring the area can yield enjoyable sessions year-round, making it a versatile spot for surfers of all levels.
