Description

Tunitas Creek - California Tunitas Creek features a sandy bottom with both right and left-breaking waves, offering fast, powerful, and fun rides. This spot works well at all tides, particularly during a falling tide, with optimal conditions from swells coming from the west and southwest. Access is challenging, requiring a short hike down a steep cliff after parking along Highway 1. Nestled just south of Martin's Beach, Tunitas Creek is often uncrowded, providing a more intimate surfing experience. The area is accessible via a dirt lot, but be prepared for a steep descent. The best surfing conditions occur between September and May, making it a prime spot during autumn, winter, and spring. While the waves are enjoyable, surfers should remain cautious of potential shark sightings, as the spot has a reputation for its marine life. Overall, Tunitas Creek is a hidden gem for those willing to make the trek.
