Laguna Creek Surf Report & Forecast

Local Knowledge

Laguna Creek in Santa Cruz is an exposed beach break known for its consistent surf and relative solitude. It works best with clean groundswells from the southwest and offshore winds from the northeast. The beach offers both left and right handers, with optimal conditions around mid tide when the tide is falling. Crowds are rare, making it a great spot for those seeking a quieter session. However, surfers should remain cautious of rips, rocks, and the occasional shark presence. Winter—especially January—delivers the most reliable clean waves.
