Four Mile Surf Report & Forecast

Local Knowledge

Four Mile in Santa Cruz is an exposed point break with reliable surf, especially during the winter months, with January offering the most consistent clean waves. The spot performs best when west swells combine with offshore winds from the northeast, and mid tide on a rising tide provides ideal conditions. While it's a favorite among locals and visitors alike, it can get crowded, and surfers should stay alert for sharks and potential localism in the lineup.
