Local Knowledge & Surf Guide

Local Knowledge

Carmel Beach in Monterey is an exposed beach break known for reliable surf year-round, with offshore winds typically from the east. It favors groundswells from the west and offers both left and right-hand waves. The best conditions occur around mid tide as it rises. While the spot can get crowded, surfers should watch for rips and localism. Ideal surfing conditions happen when a west swell aligns with east offshore winds, with the most consistent clean waves generally during winter, especially in January.
