Description
Princeton Breakwater - Half Moon Bay, California
Princeton Breakwater features a sandy bottom with a semi-hollow, wedgy beach break, ideal for various skill levels. The wave breaks well between tides, with optimal conditions for swells of 1.5 meters (5 feet) and above, producing enjoyable lefts and rights. Caution is advised due to rocks, especially at high tide.
This easily accessible surf spot is located just off Hwy 1, north of Half Moon Bay, with parking available right at the beach. The long jetty provides shelter from larger swells and prevailing winds, making it a popular choice among local surfers. While it can get crowded, particularly on weekends, beginners can find less congested waves by moving further down the beach. Overall, Princeton Breakwater offers a fun and manageable surf experience, but surfers should remain vigilant of sharp inshore rocks and shifting sandbars.
