Klamath River Surf Report & Forecast

Local Knowledge

Klamath River in Del Norte County is an exposed river mouth and beach break with inconsistent surf, generally offering the best conditions in summer. Offshore winds from the east complement distant groundswells coming from the west-southwest, producing both left and right waves on the beach break as well as near the river mouth, adding variety. The spot is surfable at all tide stages and rarely crowded. Surfers should watch out for sharks, rocks, and strong river-influenced rip currents. The most consistent clean waves usually occur during winter, especially in January.
