📍 Local Knowledge

Sand Dollar Beach in Monterey is an exposed beach break offering dependable surf year-round, with a preference for clean groundswells from the west and offshore winds from the east. The break favors left-hand waves and performs best around high tide as it rises. While it can sometimes get crowded, surfers should remain cautious of rips, rocks, and sharks. Optimal conditions occur when a west swell combines with east offshore winds, with the most consistent clean waves typically found during winter, especially in January.
