Spanish Bay-Cobblestones

📍 Local Knowledge

Spanish Bay-Cobblestones in Monterey is an exposed beach break with reasonably consistent surf year-round, favoring offshore winds from the southeast. It primarily receives groundswells from the west and offers both left and right-hand waves, performing well at all tide stages. This fairly popular spot can sometimes get crowded. Surfers should be aware of hazards like rocks and sharks. Optimal conditions occur when a west swell combines with southeast offshore winds, with the most consistent clean waves typically during winter, especially in January.
