Description
Murph Bar - Santa Cruz, California
Murph Bar is a beach break featuring both right and left-hand waves over a sandy bottom. The waves can be hollow, fast, and powerful, particularly during low and mid tides with rising and falling conditions. This spot is known for its challenging surf, attracting advanced surfers when the swell is right.
Located near Santa Cruz Harbor, Murph Bar can produce world-class waves, especially in winter. However, it is often closed out and requires specific conditions to shine. The area is known for its crowd, especially on weekends, and presents dangers such as rips, localism, and pollution. Access is straightforward, with parking available at Twin Lakes Beach and an instant walk to the break. Surfers should be cautious, as injuries and broken boards are common, and surfing here is technically illegal.
