Linda Mar North

📍 Local Knowledge

Linda Mar North in San Mateo County, California is a semi-protected beach break that picks up west to northwest swells, offering soft, rolling lefts and rights over a sandy bottom. It performs best around mid to high tide with light offshore winds from the east or northeast and tends to be most consistent from September through March when winter swells are active. The beach is moderately crowded—especially on weekends—but offers a welcoming vibe for beginners and intermediates. Hazards include rip currents, cold water, occasional shore break, and shifting sandbars.
