Description

Moss Landing - California Moss Landing features a beach break with both right and left waves over a sandy bottom. The surf can be hollow, fast, and powerful, particularly during mid to high tide with rising conditions. The spot is accessible from Highway 1, but requires a long walk (over 30 minutes) to reach the best waves. Nestled near the Monterey Bay, Moss Landing is known for its challenging surf, especially during winter months when northwest swells and offshore winds create impressive waves. While the beach can be crowded on weekends, weekdays see fewer surfers. Be mindful of local surfers who may be protective of their territory. The area is prone to strong currents and rips, and shark sightings have been reported. The surf season runs from September to April, with optimal conditions in autumn, winter, and spring, making it a prime location for surfers looking to enhance their skills.
