Ano Nuevo Surf Report & Forecast

Local Knowledge

Ano Nuevo in San Mateo is a sheltered beach and reef break with unreliable waves, offering right-handers and good surf at all tide stages. Offshore winds typically blow from the northeast, with some shelter from north-northwest winds, and the ideal swell direction is from the southwest. The spot can sometimes get crowded, and surfers should be cautious of sharks. The best conditions occur when a southwest swell combines with offshore winds from the northeast, with the most consistent clean waves usually found during winter, especially in January.
